MLK Jr. Celebration

Good morning, Ashby!

I hope you all had a great first day of classes yesterday.
As some of you may be aware, Monday is the American day of recognition for Martin Luther King, Jr. As a result, there will be no classes on Monday. However, there are some events that will be happening on campus in the coming days that I would like to encourage many of you to attend. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about MLK, Jr. and to celebrate his life and legacy. Click here to see a calendar of all the events taking place on campus.

Two of the major events are:

1. March and Speak Out, Thursday January 14 at 4 PM
Meet for this event at the James Madison statue near Varner House and Hoffman Hall.

2. MLK Formal Program, Monday January 18 at 7 PM
This event will take place in Wilson Hall and will include a keynote address from Reverend James Lawson. Check out the video below to learn more about the Reverend.


Until next time...
Katie, Ashby Hall Director
