UPDATED SCHEDULE: MSU activities planned to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Morehead State University's Student Eagle Diversity Center (SEDC) and the Campus Activities Board (CAB) will sponsor a day of service and the annual MLK Unity Walk. Due to the inclement weather, the scheduled MLK Day program is moved to Wednesday, Jan. 19, at 5 p.m. in ADUC Ballroom (A), with the Unity Walk immediately after at 5:30 p.m.  

To RSVP for these events, email humanresources@moreheadstate.edu.  

SEDC and CAB will sponsor events throughout the week to highlight the work and achievements of the civil rights pioneer. They include:

• Jan. 19 - MLK Day Program, ADUC Ballroom (A), 5 p.m.

• Jan. 21 - Lunch and Learn, ADUC 329, noon-1 p.m. Students can bring their own lunch and the SEDC will provide drinks and desserts. Come learn interesting new facts about Dr. King.

“It is important for the MSU community to celebrate MLK Day to recognize Dr. King's legacy and life of service helps to remind us to give back and serve others,” said Jamie Phipps, assistant chief diversity officer for student activities at MSU. “By serving others and advocating for the needs and rights of those who are disadvantaged, it helps us to work towards the fulfillment of Dr. King’s dream and help continue to inspire future generations to uphold those same values.”
