The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday was more than just a day off school for some U of L students. U of L encouraged students to make it a “day on, not a day off” during its seventh annual MLK day of service.
The day is organized by the Office of Student Involvement, in partnership with the Cultural Center and the Engage Lead Serve Board. The program consisted of a keynote speaker, lunch and ended with volunteer work at assigned service sites. Volunteer services ranged from working with La Casita Center and Family Scholar House, making cards for Kosair Children’s Hospital, to beautification efforts for recreational parks around the city.
