SUMMARY:Science Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Blackburn College is thrilled to announce the 36th Annual Science Day is scheduled for Friday\, April 11\, 2025. One of the College’s most celebrated traditions\, Science Day welcomes high school students from across the region to the Blackburn campus for a day of hands-on science\, dynamic demonstrations\, and scholarship opportunities.  \nCoordinated entirely by Blackburn science student workers as part of the College’s nationally recognized Work Program\, in addition to numerous student\, staff and faculty volunteers\,  Science Day is an event unlike any other. Last year\, the event welcomed more than 200 regional students and teachers\, awarding scholarships to top participants and their high schools. This year’s event aims to inspire even more students to explore science and discover exciting future career paths.  \n“Science Day is an amazing experience for all involved\,” said senior Alexia Mosby\, who is co-coordinating the 2025 event. “My favorite part of planning the event is watching the high school students reap the benefits of our efforts. Blackburn’s Science Day gives high school students an opportunity to learn about science by engaging students with unique demonstrations conducted by Blackburn students and professors. Not only do the visiting high school students benefit\, volunteers and workers of Science Day benefit by planning and running the event all on their own\, which truly exemplifies Blackburn as a unique student managed work college.”  \nScience Day starts with a friendly competition in biology\, chemistry\, physics\, and psychology. Awards are given to individual students as well as high schools with top-performing teams in each category. Throughout the day\, Blackburn students\, staff and faculty will lead engaging activities\, including: \nWitnessing exciting chemical reactions and even explosions\nExploring animal and reptile care in Blackburn’s Vivarium\nDiving into fields like computer science\, physics\, and psychology fields through hands-on experiments and demonstrations\n“Science Day is an amazing experience for the biology workers running it and the high school students who are participating\,” said senior Jessica Muckensturm\, who is also helping coordinate Science Day this year. “My favorite part of the day is watching all of the high school students get involved in the demos and get excited about the different aspects of science. We will continue working to make Science Day better every year!” \nSchools and educators interested in attending are encouraged to contact Mosby and Muckensturm\, Science Day coordinators\, at biology@blackburn.edu for additional details\, including an event schedule and registration forms.

SUMMARY:Choir Concert: Schubert’s Mass in G Major
DESCRIPTION:The season concludes with a significant choral event as Blackburn College’s three choirs—College Choir\, Conservatory Choir\, and Community Choir—join forces to perform Schubert’s Mass in G Major. \nThis concert represents the culmination of the Music program’s renewed commitment to fostering community connections. With funding from the Illinois Arts Council\, Blackburn launched the Conservatory Choir in the fall\, offering high school students from districts without music programs a choral experience. Additionally\, the College reintroduced the Community Choir\, a reimagined version of the previously established community ensemble that had been inactive since the pandemic. While each choir performed separately last semester\, this concert marks the first time all three ensembles will unite for a major work. \nAdding to the evening’s significance\, Blackburn’s music majors will premiere their original compositions\, developed through mentorship with award-winning Nashville songwriter Dr. Kim McLean. Students composed and arranged their works for choir and orchestra\, and each will perform as the soloist on their piece—an unparalleled opportunity to gain real-world experience in songwriting and performance. \nFor additional details\, ticket reservations\, or inquiries\, please contact music@blackburn.edu.
