SUMMARY:Martin Luther King\, Jr. Convocation
DESCRIPTION:Watch the event from Bothwell Auditorium \nBlackburn College is bringing its annual Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Convocation back to campus. The event will be held Tuesday\, January 17\, 2023\, in Bothwell Auditorium at 4:00 pm. The College last hosted an in-person MLK Convocation in January 2020\, holding virtual celebrations in 2021 and 2022. This year’s event will include the presentation of the annual Blackburn MLK Student Leadership Award\, a proclamation from Carlinville Mayor Sarah Oswald\, and a keynote address from Dr. Leon Chestang ‘59. The convocation is open to Blackburn faculty\, staff\, students\, and all members of the community. \nA distinguished social work educator\, scholar\, and expert on race and culture\, Dr. Chestang was among the first Black students admitted to Blackburn in 1954. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in sociology\, he received a Master’s degree at Washington University in St. Louis and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Dr. Chestang served as Professor and Dean of the School of Social Work at Wayne State University in Detroit for nearly twenty years. Most recently\, he held the position of Visiting Professor and Associate Dean of the School of Social Work at Jackson State University.  \nDr. Chestang’s work is taught throughout the U.S. and internationally. He authored the first article on transracial adoption in social work literature and set the tone for much of the current efforts to find permanent adoptive homes for children. His doctoral dissertation broke new ground in understanding how African Americans achieve in the face of discrimination and racism. His career has included service as a child welfare worker\, private practitioner of counseling children and families\, and community organizer. In addition\, he has served as a distinguished visiting professor or lecturer at Howard University\, Norfolk State University\, Fordham University\, New York University\, Columbia University\, the University of Michigan\, Bryn Mawr College\, and the University of Utah. \n“Dr. Chestang’s extraordinary insights as part of the first generation of Black scholars admitted to Blackburn during a transformational time for this College and country will inspire and empower this campus and community\,” said Dr. Margaret Lawler\, Executive Director of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion at Blackburn. “Our annual convocation is an opportunity to both celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and recommit ourselves to the ideals of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, which are directly linked to the College’s mission\, values\, and goals.” \nLawler continued\, “We are excited to welcome Dr. Chestang back to campus as the keynote speaker\, learn from his expertise\, and grow in our awareness.” \nBlackburn College’s annual MLK Convocation is coordinated by the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and will feature a public reception before and after the event.

SUMMARY:October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)
DESCRIPTION:October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The purpose of NDEAM is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. NDEAM celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities past and present and showcases supportive\, inclusive employment policies and practices. In recognition of the important role people with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American workforce\, the theme for NDEAM 2022 “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation.” \n  \nThe history of NDEAM traces back to 1945\, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962\, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988\, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The 2021 theme was “America’s Recovery: Powered by Inclusion.” \n  \n
