Washburn University Standing Strong for 150 years

Since I am on campus at Washburn University right now, I thought it would be fun to write a short post about the campus. Washburn was founded in 1865 by members of the Congregational Church as Lincoln College. The name was changed to Washburn after a benefactor of the same name donated money that saved the school from financial disparity. Since then, Washburn has been at the front of many political movements, such as allowing women to attend college, one of the first desegregated colleges, and now rights to protect the LGBT community. Washburn Is a beautiful, open campus with lots of things to do from seeing sports, theatre, music, to seeing guest Speakers, attending clubs, go to the recreation center, and creating kid friendly events.
Here are a few pictures around campus:
