Congratulations, Professor!

Buckham Fine Arts Project announces Qiana Towns Williams as its 2025-2026 Writer in Residence.

As the resident writer, Qiana Towns Williams will attend Buckham Gallery’s exhibitions between October 2025 and September 2026. After absorbing the visual presentations, Towns Williams will create written compositions responding to her experience, as a catalyst for her literary practice. In addition to the residency and honorarium, she joins the Buckham Arts Collective with a complimentary Artist Collaborator membership, further strengthening the growing rank of writers in the collective.

“The Buckham Gallery residency offers me the gift of time and support to think deeply and create freely,” said Towns Williams. “There is much possibility ahead; I am moving forward with curiosity and courage. I’m here to write, rewrite, and be rewritten by the art and artists I encounter at Buckham.”

The Buckham Fine Arts Project’s WIR program started as an outreach project in early 2021 to unite its visual art exhibitions with literary arts and Flint’s Black, Indigenous, People of Color community. The collaboration provides an opportunity for writers to engage with their interest in visual art and gain exposure for their literary work, while engaging Flint’s marginalized communities in a meaningful way.

Buckham's 2025-2026 Writer In Residence project is sponsored in part by a generous donation by the Mary Elizabeth Adams Manley Beautification Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.

Buckham Fine Arts Project is supported in part by an award from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and the Greater Flint Arts Council Share Art Genesee Grant Program made possible by the Genesee County Arts Education and Cultural Enrichment Millage funds.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of President Emeritus Donald J. Carlyon’s passing on May 27 at age 100. Carlyon dedicated over 30 years of service to Delta College and many years thereafter to the Great Lakes Bay Region. He served as Delta’s longest standing president from 1964 – 1993 and he never missed a Commencement ceremony since the college opened in 1961, though he attended this spring’s ceremony from home. Throughout his tenure, Carlyon focused much of his attention on innovation and building a best-in-class workforce, becoming a founding member of the League for Innovation in the Community College in 1968. He will be missed greatly, but his legacy lives on through his surviving children, grandchildren and every hall of Delta College.
