Merry Music Monday in the KC

Stop by the KC on Monday, Dec. 4, from 5 – 7 p.m. for some holiday tunes provided by members of the Albion College Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensembles. In addition to the music, there will be an Instrument Petting Zoo where you can try out an instrument (or re-acquaint yourself with one you knew back in high school!) Both ensembles are open to all students — not just music majors — so come learn more about how you can get involved!

Friday @ 5 p.m. — All Journalism is Local: A conversation with Aydali Campa of Inside Climate News

Join the Pleiad Friday at 5 p.m. in Norris 101 for the inaugural Richard M. Smith, ’68, Pleiad Speaker Series talk.

Aydali Campa is a bilingual multimedia journalist in Chicago, originally from the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona. Her award-winning story on Mexican children crossing the border to attend schools in the U.S., her work with Teach for America, and COVID-19 coverage for The Arizona Republic and the Wall Street Journal have shaped her focus on in-depth journalism. For Inside Climate News, she produced a series about the mistrust two historically Black communities in Atlanta had of the federal government remediating their home’s soil from lead.

In a Q&A with Pleiad adviser Krista Quesenberry, Campa will discuss her career and open up our campus dialogues about environmental justice, bilingual communication, career preparation, journalism ethics and more.

Pre-purchased Pleiad fundraiser t-shirts will be available for pick-up. This event is free and open to the public.
