Blackburn College in Carlinville will host high school students and their families for an open house on Monday, Feb. 21. The event is an opportunity for prospective students to find out what life is like at Blackburn College, explore academic and athletic interests, and learn about campus activities. Participants will also witness first-hand Blackburn’s unique approach to education as the only student-managed work program in the nation and discover how graduates can get a four-year head start on their careers.

Students and their families who attend will tour the 80-acre campus, make personal connections with current Blackburn students and professors, and enjoy a complimentary lunch. There will also be time to discuss the application process and learn about financial aid opportunities like the Macoupin Promise – where qualified graduates of Macoupin County high schools can go to Blackburn tuition-free.

Space is limited to protect the wellbeing of all guests and ensure Blackburn can provide the best experience possible while navigating COVID-19 restrictions at the time of the event.
