Please Return Eclipse Glasses

By Faculty and Staff, Students

We hope you enjoyed the solar eclipse on April 8! The Physics Department handed out over 2000 eclipse glasses and we’d like to recycle them.

We are donating the used eclipse glasses to the Astronomers Without Borders recycling program. Thousands of donated glasses will be recycled and vetted for reusability and given to those who need them for outreach and educational programs around the world. Since 2008, Astronomers Without Borders has been sending solar eclipse glasses to many different regions of the world, from Africa to Asia.

Boxes will be out through the end of Finals Week. Please return glasses to:

  • Physics
  • Campus Safety
  • the Bookstore
  • the Library

Help us support people on this Earth so that everyone can enjoy nature. Make education borderless! 🙂

RACE IN MEDIA (HSP 137H) Presentations

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Albion College has a history of controversial and sensitive stories that are difficult to talk about. Our projects shine a light on these stories using the Pleiad.

Join the students of HSP 137H: Race in Media for our final presentations to hear about our semester-long projects digging into the Pleiad archives to explore and explain stories of interest to our community. We will share both Digital Archive Projects and a physical exhibition, which will remain on display outside the Library Archives for a few weeks — please visit to view the exhibit any time if you are unable to join us for the presentations!

Tuesday, April 23
2:30 to 4 p.m.
Library Archives (Top floor of Mudd)
All are welcome!
