Dear Blackburn Community,
As the semester draws to a close and the holiday season begins, I want to pause and give thanks for the extraordinary community that is Blackburn College.
This time of year always feels like an excellent time for reflection, as we remember the relationships we’ve built, the work we’ve done together, and the people who make this place feel like home. As the days grow shorter and colder, I am grateful for all the individuals who make this college so distinctive. I see Blackburn’s spirit on full display in our dedicated faculty and staff, in our outstanding students, and in our generous alumni and friends.
In that spirit, I invite you to watch a short fireside message, shared from McKinley House to your home:
Music has always been a meaningful part of the Blackburn experience, especially during the holidays. We’re also pleased to share a beautiful performance by the Blackburn College Choir from Christmas at Blackburn:
We hope this season brings moments of rest, joy, and connection. Thank you for being part of the Blackburn family and for carrying the values and care of this College with you into the world.
From our family to yours,
Larry K. Lee
President, Blackburn College
