Washburn Transformational Experience
The Washburn Transformational Experience is a program that was created in order to provide Washburn University students with amazing opportunities and experiences. The main objective of the WTE program is to transform students into a new kind of individual (e.g., more worldly, more knowledgeable). Students will be able to accomplish goals and experience opportunities they never dreamed possible. Each student is responsible for making their WTE experience as great and amazing as they want it to be. WTE, (Washburn Transformational Experience)A Forum of Student Creativity

Today in the U.S.A.: live?
This is an original work created by Washburn University students for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2020.
A generation of U.S. children have grown up with active shooter drills, repeated horrifying news stories of shooters in schools, sympathy for the victims, and literal and figurative scars. What lingers in the individual and collective consciousness of a generation who grow up in an environment where children feel like targets? Come on a journey, heartfelt, irreverent, hopeful, and frustrating, exploring a new generation’s view of the country they inhabit. Warning: Irreverence, Satire, Hope and Change are all mixed up in this view of "Today in the U.S.A: live?"
Premier performances on campus: May 1 at 7:30 p.m., May 2 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Admission: Free will donation to send students to perform at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
