The Veterans Day Program on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 11:30 AM in Vaughn Chapel, will feature Professor Emeritus Melvin Macklin speaking about the importance of veterans in today’s uncertain world. Dr. Macklin served as an Army Sergeant and Radio Communications Specialist from 1965 to 1969, in Germany and in Vietnam during the TET Offensive.
Dr. Macklin’s teaching and research over the past fifty years have focused on Holocaust studies and American literature, especially African American literature and slave narratives. He has taught in the English Department at Ferrum College since 2008.
This program is a special opportunity to recognize and show our gratitude to the men and women who have served in our armed forces. All members of the local and college community are encouraged to join the college in this meaningful event.
