In preparation for honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, ��MŮ��’s Martin Luther King Jr. Planning Committee is requesting that university divisions, departments and student organizations submit programming, activities and events (scheduled Jan. 25-Jan. 31, 2021) to the MLK Events Calendar by Friday, Dec. 4, 2020.

Through multiple organizations and collaborations on and off campus, ��MŮ�� ended 2019 as a more sustainable campus.
