A contingent of Albion College staff members who attended this summer’s Black Boys & Men Symposium are making plans to share their knowledge with campus colleagues this fall.
Albion College is one of only 24 schools in the nation to be selected to participate in the inaugural cohort of the Work-Based Learning Consortium by the Council of Independent Colleges, or CIC.
Albion College “emphasizes the importance of mixing learning with hands-on experience, particularly when it comes to community engagement and service,” according to the 2024 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges.
Friday, April 28, Pastor Leon McDonald, ’03, delivered the alumni address for the second annual Kente Graduation ceremony in Baldwin Hall. His remarks were met by joyous applause from students and shouts of loving agreement from the parents, staff and faculty who came to honor the graduates.
Graduation and commencement are times to celebrate the end of college and the start of a new chapter of life for students, but the Baccalaureate service is a time for reflection that can get overshadowed by the events of the “big day.”
Students at Albion College just expanded their opportunities for hands-on learning, while faculty, staff and community members gained more living, retail and investment options in their backyard, thanks to a new downtown revitalization project that received support and funding from the state.
The six members of this Intentional Living Community lead a plan for academic success with Taco Tuesdays, community service and the hard work of building brotherhood.
