What happens when nature is treated as a commodity?

Sophie Gray ’28 invites us to consider that question through “Commodification of Nature,” a new art exhibition she curated in collaboration with the Windgate Museum of Art and the Marshall T. Steel Center for the Study of Religion and Philosophy.

Bringing together work by eight artists, the exhibition explores how the monetization of nature can reshape our relationship with the environment and challenges us to consider more mindful and sustainable ways of relating to the natural world.

The exhibition is currently on display in Ellis Hall, with an opening reception Friday, October 9, from 4–5 p.m.

A wonderful spotlight on one of our own! 🧡

Dr. Charles “Chuck” Chappell ’64 has made a lasting impact on generations of Hendrix students as an alumnus, beloved professor, mentor, and friend.

We’re so glad to see him featured in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s High Profile. Take a few minutes to read about a true Hendrix legend!

If ever someone met the definition of "immersed in their profession" it is Chuck Chappell, 84, who spent roughly half his working life in college classrooms, 41 years of that in the English department of Hendrix College in Conway. Throw in his own schooling and his longtime volunteering with LifeQuest of Arkansas, which leads senior citizens along the path of lifelong learning, and there have been few periods of his life not spent in education.
