It has been more than five years since this magazine last reached your mailbox. So much has changed since then—on our campus, in the world, and in the life of our College. Through it all, one thing remains constant: the spirit of Blackburn.

When you turn these pages, I hope you’ll see how our history lives in every student, faculty, and staff member, and in every alum who carries it forward. Blackburn Today is a bridge between generations, a way to share our progress, and a celebration of the remarkable community we continue to build together.
