Albion College’s Big Read program has become a community fixture, attracting nearly 1,000 participants annually to multiple book discussions and events.
One of the May 4 Commencement speakers, Barbara Weiskittel, ’83, was born and raised in Albion and the city and College have remained important to her since. Indeed, over the years she has made significant gifts to Albion’s Big Read, Build Albion Fellows, the restoration of downtown Albion and more. “I want the school and the community together to grow and thrive,” she says.
