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.

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.
