Blackburn College gave me a renaissance education, which was ideal for a young man who had no idea what the hell he was going to do with his life. With Blackburn, you could invent or even reinvent yourself.
My advisor stood out for me he was so personable about everything. He made you feel important about everything that you did, and it was the main reason why I kept succeeding.

Beautification Day

The College Where Alumni Come Home to Work

For more than a century, being a Blackburn student has meant more than just going to college. Students who attend are a living part of the College, helping to plan, manage and run the facilities of an institution fully invested in them. But the relationship doesn’t fade after graduation. Blackburn alumni constantly search for and create opportunities to support the College, including traveling back to the picturesque campus and rolling up their sleeves to clock in again. The annual Campus Beautification Day event is a perfect example of how the bonds, connections, and relationships forged at Blackburn only grow stronger.
