Solar eclipse Oct. 14

By Faculty and Staff, Students

On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse will cross North, Central, and South America. The “ring of fire” will be visible in parts of the United States, Mexico, and many countries in South and Central America. In Albion, we’ll see a partial solar eclipse, with about 45% coverage. As a reminder, a total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, when Albion will see about 97% coverage (with totality in Toledo).

Eclipse glasses are the best way to safely view the Sun and protect your eyes. The Physics Department has a limited supply and is distributing them as loaners for the October 14 eclipse. Please get eclipse glasses from Elisa Reynolds in the Science Complex Office, during normal business hours. We expect you to return them when we return to campus after Fall Break.

More information about the October 14 annular eclipse, including the path of totality, can be found here. More information about the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse can be found here.

Call for help with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program

By Students

Please consider participating in BUS: 387 – the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)!

The program’s mission is to provide free tax preparation to low-income taxpayers in the Albion community. Using IRS-supplied software, student volunteers will receive valuable, hands-on tax preparation experience under the supervision of Albion College Accounting faculty. This experiential learning program is open to all majors, and can be particularly helpful to those interested in Accounting, Actuarial Science, and Finance.  This program is also a great resume builder & provides students with real-world experience that can be discussed during interviews for internships and full-time employment.

The program will run from approx. the first week in February to the second week in April 2024.

If you are interested – please fill out this Google Form and indicate a possible time slot that works for you. 

I appreciate your consideration!
