Dujka Inducted Into Blinn Hall of Honor

The Blinn College District and Blinn College Alumni and Friends Association welcomed six new members of the Blinn College Hall of Honor during a special luncheon Friday, Oct. 6, at the Blinn College-Brenham Campus Student Center.

This year’s Hall of Honor inductees were Don Adam, John Dujka, Joel Franke, Robert Giles, Charlie Matejowsky, and Lillie Ann Turner-Beatty. The Hall of Honor recognizes Blinn’s most distinguished alumni, local business leaders, and those who have made a significant impact in their communities or professions. Inductees are recognized at a luncheon during Blinn’s homecoming week each year.

Dujka has taught at Blinn for more than 32 years and currently serves as a Professor of Piano and Music Theory and as a collaborative pianist on staff, performing regularly with students, faculty, and guests. He also maintains a private piano studio in Brenham and is a member of the Texas Music Teachers Association and Brenham Area Music Teachers Association. He regularly serves as an adjudicator for competitions and other area piano events. Dujka founded the annual Blinn College District Young Pianists Competition in 2002 and was honored by Mary and Larry Whigham in the spring of 2022 with the establishment of a Blinn endowed scholarship in his name.
