In the summer of 1975, Professor Jim Davis’ passion for golf inspired him to create what became known as the Western Open, a yearly golf tournament held at the Lake Padden Golf Course. Jim was the former dean of the department of arts and sciences at Western, as well as a former political science professor, who had a passion for golf. In addition to the Western Open tournament, Davis formed an informal club where WWU golf enthusiasts could get together and play golf. The group was called Golf Fore Fun.
Join faculty, staff, students, and members of the community as together we explore the question, “How does the political context of art affect the way we consume it?” On March 4, 2020 in the WWU Gallery, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m., a panel presentation will be followed by small group conversation in the WWU Gallery.
