SUMMARY:Alumni Event: Cyntoia Brown-Long Live Stream
DESCRIPTION:Cyntoia Brown-Long will visit Blackburn College as a guest speaker on Monday\, April 3 at 7:00 PM (CT). If you cannot make the trip to Carlinville\, Blackburn alums have an exclusive opportunity to live stream the event for free from the comfort of your home. \nReservations are still required\, use the form below to reserve your spot for the live-streaming event. \nThis event is made possible by the Kathleen J. Eberle Memorial Lecture Series\, the Campus Activities Board\, the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, and the Office of the President. \nOnline Form – Cyntoia Brown-Long – Alumni Live Stream \nBlackburn College will host Cyntoia Brown-Long\, author and advocate for criminal justice reform and victims of trafficking\, as a speaker on Monday\, April 3\, at 7:00 PM in Bothwell Auditorium. As part of Blackburn’s observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month\, Brown-Long will share her journey of being trafficked and arrested during her early teenage years\, being tried as an adult and incarcerated for killing a man who solicited her for sex\, and her path to redemption inside and after prison. Q&A and book signing will follow. \n“Cyntoia’s life is both remarkable and inspirational simply from a human point of view\, but I am convinced that Blackburn’s students will especially benefit from her visit\,” said Al Sturgeon\, Vice President for Diverse and Equitable Student Life and Dean of Students at Blackburn. “A college education had a transformative impact on Cyntoia’s life while in prison\, and her message continues to provide a perspective that transforms others.” \nHer memoir\, “Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System\,” written while in prison\, documents her early years and the 15 years she was incarcerated. Set against the shocking backdrop of a life behind bars and the injustice of sentencing sex-trafficked juveniles as adults\, she struggled to overcome a legacy of birth-family addiction and a lifetime of being ostracized and abandoned by society. Brown-Long stated of her time in prison\, “I was just a teenager when I was sent to live behind a razor-wire fence. My entire coming of age was within the walls of the Tennessee Prison for Women.” \nHer life changed dramatically when the prison education principal took her under her wing and introduced her to a spiritual path. She was encouraged to build a positive life in prison and to resist the negative influences that lead to despair. The journey that followed was a roller coaster ride that included earning a college degree from Lipscomb University while inside prison\, an unauthorized Netflix documentary about her life\, a profound encounter with God\, an unlikely romance\, and\, eventually\, a commuted sentence by Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam. She received unprecedented national and international support from social media advocates\, pastors\, and celebrities and was finally released from prison on August 7\, 2019. \nPart of the Blackburn event will include a Q&A with Brown-Long\, moderated by Blackburn’s Chair of the Leadership\, Law and Public Service Department\, Dr. Laura Wiedlocher. \n“Cynotia’s journey from victim to advocate is an opportunity for students to learn about the complexities within the US justice system\,” Wiedlocher shared. “Students have been studying cases like Cyntoia’s in their course work and in some classes\, even Cyntoia’s case. Being afforded the opportunity to meet Cyntoia and hear her story makes the abstract concrete.” \nShe added\, “This event would not be possible without the endowed speaker series donation given by the Eberle family and collaboration across campus groups.” In addition to the Kathleen J. Eberle Memorial Lecture Series fund\, the event is sponsored by the Campus Activities Board\, the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, as well as funds from the Office of the President. \nBrown-Long stated that she hopes her story will inspire others and shine a light on the injustice many still face\, especially the injustice to women and children in American prisons. She continues to work with service providers\, judicial bodies\, and correctional agencies to provide training\, auditing\, and coaching designed to develop a dignified and empowering approach to corrections\, programming\, and case management. Alongside her husband\, Jaime\, she also co-founded The JFAM Foundation to better serve and advocate for individuals affected by human trafficking\, youth services involvement\, and incarceration. \nShe was awarded the 2022 Leadership Prize from the Juvenile Law Center for her work in advocating for justice-involved youth. In January 2020\, the Vera Institute of Justice recognized Cyntoia as one of the Best of Justice Reform honorees. She was a 2020 Nominee for the NAACP Literary Image Award and has been featured as a guest columnist for the Washington Post.

SUMMARY:Beekeeping Class
DESCRIPTION:The Blackburn College Beekeeping Program will host its first beekeeping class this spring. This exciting opportunity will be open to the public\, and attendees will have access to the campus’s apiary as a learning resource. The class will run from March 13 until May 9\, 2023. \nThe opportunity will consist of eight evening classroom sessions and up to eight in-hive field days on weekends (weather permitting). Those attending the class will learn introductory beekeeping skills\, honeybee anatomy and reproduction\, as well as hive social structure and function. The class will also include understanding the bees’ relationship to each other\, their relationship to humans\, the human relationship to bees\, the impact on our shared environment\, and how it affects both the bees and humans alike. Blackburn College is a chemical-free apiary\, and coursework will therefore reflect this. \nWhile Blackburn’s commitment to pollinators dates back to the late 1800s\, the current Bee Program launched in 2016 when an insurance provider forced the College to remove a natural beehive from a tree near Lumpkin Library. The student group maintains several hives on campus and at Solomon Creek Farm\, a private nature preserve\, and two period-correct hives at Lincoln’s Home National Historic Site in Springfield\, IL. \nEach evening class session will be held on Monday and will start at 7:00 pm. The cost for residents of Macoupin and Montgomery Counties will be $75\, all others will be $100. To learn more about the class or find registration information\, please contact Dade Bradley or call (815) 216-2282 or Registrar Dianna Ruyle.
