This year, a week of Honoring Black History will take place from Feb. 21 – 27. Several diversity organizations led by All is One! Empowering Young Women of Color (AIO) will come together to host events featuring speakers centered around Blackness and the theme of unity.
In previous years, People of Color (POC) Empowerment Week was celebrated in the last week of February and served as a time for diversity organizations to celebrate their groups. According to Black Student Union President, junior Sarah Navy, the change in name and emphasis on Black history took place because Lawrence had limited programming for Black History Month in the past.

Sophomore Matthew DeChant released his debut folk album, “Out the Hollow Tree” on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2021. Of it, he says, “When you live in a suburb, it can be easy to think that there’s nothing mythical, nothing folkloric about where you are that it’s all just plastic houses built in the ‘50s. But if you dig a little deeper, there’s all sorts of interesting things you can find in the cracks in between.” The album explores what happens when you do look for the mythical in everyday life, right here in Wisconsin. DeChant’s self-given title as “folksinger, song-spinner, shantyman and bard” feels fitting as soon as you start to listen to the music. The opening track is a cover of Peter Bellamy’s “Oak, Ash, and Thorn” adapted from a poem by Rudyard Kipling but the rest of the tracks on the album are ones that DeChant wrote himself.

The South Australian-born pair are expected to open their doors sometime in March and are still finalising the nitty gritty details like the name of the fund and where theyâll set up home base.
Small and mid cap specialist Capozzi has been plying his trade as a client adviser at Taylor Collison for a dozen years, and the pair are hoping he can leverage his client base to get some money in the door early to get the fund off the ground.
