Undergraduate Residence Halls Open for Spring Semester

On January 16, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This day is a holiday for students, faculty, and staff. So that we might all have the opportunity to honor Dr. King’s legacy on MLK Day in our own ways — by participating in a service project, attending events in the local community, worshiping in our faith communities, engaging in dialogue with friends and colleagues, or spending time with our families and loved ones — we will not plan any campus-wide observances that day.

The Center for Social Concerns is taking a new approach to connecting the campus and the community. Instead of doing a one day fair — as we've done in the past — we'll host six separate evenings during the spring semester. Each evening will be focused on a particular theme that highlights the work community partners do and fosters deeper engagement with students, faculty, and staff. The idea is that by spreading opportunities for connection over the spring semester we'll continue to deepen standing partnerships and create some new ones in the mix. Our first event In January will feature youth and education organizations from around the local community. Learn more
