What does MLK Jr Day mean at Lawrence?
MLK, Jr. Day of Service at Lawrence University is an annual event that invites the entire Lawrence community to continue honoring the ideas of Dr. King and the civil rights movements that continue to this day. Students, staff and faculty will honor the continuance of the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr through learning, serving, and celebrating.
Volunteering on MLK Jr. Day provides an opportunity for you to:
- Give something back to an organization that has improved our community
- Make a difference to the lives of others (including our students!)
- Address disparities of access to basic human rights
- Step away from work to think about your own commitment to civic engagement
In addition to a speaker who will address an important social justice issue impacting our health, a variety of both on-campus and off-campus opportunities are available to all. Each activity is a student led initiative that benefits the community and helps Lawrentians solidify the value of learning as you serve. Select from a number of options, any of which will benefit a variety of agencies in the Appleton area.
