Kathmandu Valley experienced heavy monsoon rainfall last week, claiming 192 lives and the destruction of many homes and roads.

Knox is taking a step further in the evolution of the Green Oaks site. The construction of a new residential building, which has been 20 years in the works, began this past summer 2024. Facilities will now be usable year-round, and while the new dorms will be occupied by the students participating in the Spring 2025 Immersive Term, subsequent terms provide increased accessibility for students or professors looking to use the space.

Every student at Knox has heard about Knox College and Galesburg's abolitionist origins. It is spoken of in the classroom, in Seymour Library books, and on school websites. However, the local history also contains deep roots of racial discrimination and prejudice, which is not nearly as talked about. From the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th, segregation affected employment, housing, social life, and even recreation for Black residents in Galesburg. Julia Maron's article will show examples of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination that Black people faced in town during that period.

The Teresa Amott Science Commons at Knox College has gone through a major transformation with the support of a grant. The space now features cutting-edge equipment such as 3D printers, electronic workstations and a CNC router, fostering innovation and hands-on learning.

Seymour Library was supposed to be renovated over the summer to improve accessibility in the building. However, renovations were halted for the time being due to budget constraints.
