To coincide with March's designation as Women's History Month, many events also emphasize the achievements and experiences of Black women.</p> <p>The mid-month start of programming is the result of �鶹��Ƶ’s altered academic calendar for 2021-22, which sees students returning to campus this week for spring semester—nearly three weeks later than in normal years.</p> <p>The schedule of conservatory programming is listed below. Information about many additional events on campus can be found on the <a href="/events/series/black-history-month">Black History Month page at �鶹��Ƶ.edu</a>.</p> <p><strong>Alumni Panel:<br> Welcome (Back) to the Table: A Conversation for Black Students on Navigating �鶹��Ƶ and Beyond</strong><br> <strong>Saturday, February 26, at 4:30 p.m.<br> Birenbaum Innovation and Performance Space</strong><br> A host of �鶹��Ƶ alumni reflect on their experiences as students and young professionals.
