SUMMARY:Honoring a Legacy: Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, January 19\, 2026 from 11:15 am to noon in Vaughn Chapel\, the Ferrum College campus and community will come together to observe Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day. The keynote speaker for this event\, Dr. Melvin Macklin\, will talk about “The Making of a Dream.” \nMartin Luther King\, Jr. Day is a National Day of Service and a powerful call to action to reflect on Dr. King’s enduring legacy of justice\, equality\, and nonviolent service\, and to commit ourselves to his vision of the Beloved Community. \nDr. Macklin served in the United States Army as a Sergeant and Radio Communications Specialist from 1965 to 1969\, including service in Germany and Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. He later earned his Ph.D. in Literary Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2008\, becoming the first recipient of the university’s Certificate in Holocaust Studies. He has taught in Ferrum College’s English Department since 2008 and was named professor emeritus in 2021; he continues to teach part-time. \nHis teaching and scholarship focus on Holocaust studies\, African American literature\, and slave narratives\, and he has authored several works on African American history and culture. Throughout more than fifty years in education\, Dr. Macklin has remained dedicated to continual self-improvement and to affirming\, in the spirit of Dr. King\, the dream and vision of a more just world. \nDr. Macklin will share firsthand experience\, educate\, and empower every member of our community. Please plan to join us for this insightful program and time of reflection. \nPhoto of Vaughn Chapel by Dr. Bob Pohlad.

SUMMARY:Friday Science Seminar: Horticulturalist Dr. Josh Kardos
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on January 23 at 11:30 AM\, in Garber Hall 106\, for Friday seminar. The guest speaker will be Dr. Josh Kardos.  \nDr. Josh Kardos became interested in horticulture as a young boy while working in his grandmother’s garden. During high school and college\, he worked for a garden center\, a woody nursery\, and an herbaceous greenhouse\, and as an undergraduate research assistant in an ornamental plant breeding program. Dr. Kardos obtained his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in horticulture from the University of Georgia. After graduate school he worked as the plant breeder and general manager of a startup ornamental plant breeding company in Georgia. He then moved from Georgia to North Carolina to work for a startup\, internationally owned vegetable grafting operation\, where he was involved in all aspects of production and management.  \nAlthough Dr. Kardos enjoys production horticulture\, he realized that training and leading employees brought him the most fulfillment. Therefore\, he sought an opportunity to teach horticulture to undergraduates from his years of experience in the green industry. He began teaching horticulture at Virginia Tech as an instructor in 2020. Last fall\, he was promoted to Collegiate Assistant Professor with a 75% teaching and 25% scholarship and leadership of teaching appointment. He teaches Indoor Plants\, Plant Propagation\, Herbaceous Landscape Plants\, Greenhouse & CEA Management\, Production of Food Crops in CEA\, and Ornamental Plant Production & Marketing.
