Multicultural Services invites you to join in community as we celebrate the life, the legacy, and the works of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, King, Jr. An array of festivities will take place January 13-15, 2025.
Our theme for this year draws inspiration from Dr. King’s seminal work, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? As we reflect on his call for justice and equity, we aim to explore how his insights remain deeply relevant in addressing today’s challenges.
