What matters to Dr. Wayne Webster? What matters to our President? What matters to you? What matters to our students, faculty, and staff? There's one way to find out: join us for our "What Matters to Me and Why" dinner on Wednesday, November 12.

We will enjoy a free delicious dinner with vegetarian and gluten-free options available upon request. As we finish coffee and dessert, Dr. Webster will speak about what matters to him and why. We'll then spend a few minutes discussing what matters to him… and to you!

Considered one of the greatest American plays ever written, Our Town chronicles life in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, from 1901 to 1913. The play explores growing up, falling in love, and what comes after death. Written in 1938, the spirits of Our Town reach across the decades to remind us to slow down and appreciate the small moments of life.

Coy James Lecture
2025-11-17 16:30 - 17:30
The Albion College History Department's Fall 2025 Coy James Lecturer in American History is Hanae Weber, whose talk, "In Pursuit of the Greater Good: Loyalist Refugees and Public History in 2025" will be presented in Bobbitt Auditorium on Monday November 17th, at 4:30 pm (refreshments at 4:00). During and after the American Revolution, over 100,000 (!) people fled the United States. The stories of these refugees, a whopping 4% of the total European- and African-descended population of the country, are often ignored when our founding is discussed. This talk explores the catalysts that caused so many people to become refugees as the United States was forming and the role that public history plays in our recollections of the past.
Originally from Albion, Hanae is an award-winning historic interpreter and museum program writer with over a decade of experience in the museum field. A graduate of Albion High School and DePauw University, she is currently pursuing a degree in Public History from SUNY Empire State College. Hanae’s focus is on uncovering the stories of under-documented people in the Great Lakes region, collaborating with historians across the country to piece together histories of enslaved and self-emancipated people. She has worked as a historic interpreter at Forts Mackinac and Michilimackinac in northern Michigan and at Old Fort Niagara in New York; while at Old Fort Niagara, she was featured in an episode of the PBS show A Taste of History (season 12, episode 5: The French Castle on the Lake). She currently works as the Lead Public Programs Coordinator at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.
