Do you have the Grizzly safe app? No? Well, here is why you should!!

I am returning to Butler again after a 15-year break to travel, nurture the life of a daughter and carry out creative endeavors like tipi building on mountain sides, designing sensory deprivation tank rooms and learning ways to be an authentic, healthy version of myself with elders of many traditions. My first experience at Butler was spent in the photography program’s dark room. That room, film development program and even some of the staff only exist in memory today.

As summer returns, El Dorado State Park's Walnut River Area trail once again invites families and outdoor people to its sandy beach, winding trails and sparkling lake. Nestled just southwest of the dam at El Dorado Lake, this popular spot offers more than 2,000 acres of shoreline, trails, campsites and recreation facilities.

Recently, a new donut shop called Crispy Donuts, located at 2401 W. Central Ave. opened in El Dorado.. Owner Lee Kang and wife, Ctienda, decided to open the location in El Dorado, although there are other locations in Wichita. 

On Thursday, June 26 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Butler CC community is welcome to gather and gather to honor Jackie Vietti as she concludes her service as interim president. The event will take place at the Hubbard Welcome Center in the Clifford/Stone Room.  

The Butler CC Libraries and Archives are calling on the community to come together in support of a small Kansas town devastated by a tornado this past May. In response to the destruction of the public library in Grinnell, Butler is collecting gently used children’s books to help rebuild the town’s cherished collection. 

Melanie McLemore grew up in a small town in Alabama. In this rural setting, McLemore grew up in church and it took some time to accept her queer identity.  

Carter, known as “TC,” leaves behind a legacy defined by athletic excellence and academic achievement. Under his leadership, Butler secured three national championships in football, two in softball and national titles in both the men’s and women’s half-marathon. More than just titles, Carter fostered a culture that developed not only championship teams but also future coaches.

As of recently, many thunderstorms swept through Kansas on Tuesday, June 3. This triggered flash flooding that forced evacuations in El Dorado and surrounding communities.
