Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Learning

Capital University 22nd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Learning • Monday, Jan. 21, 2013

Every January, the Capital University community celebrates the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Learning. This year marks the 22nd year of our commitment. Although the events are coordinated by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the event belongs to the entire campus. Students, staff and faculty are instrumental to the success of the day’s events. On this day, we open our campus to the wider community of Central Ohio . Citizens of Central Ohio delight in an opportunity to be challenged by the keynote speaker, engage in meaningful dialogue with students, staff and faculty during the workshops, and enjoy the hospitality of our campus.

On Monday, January 21, 2013 we will commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. King through service and learning. Our theme, DREAM. LIVE. CHANGE captures our commitment to act, serve and engage to build Dr. King’s commitment to his dream.

The day will commence at 8 am with a Community Gathering in Harry C. Moores, Campus Center; and, the Day of Learning convocation program will follow in Mees Hall. Rev. Jamal -Harrison Bryant, Founder of Empowerment Temple has been selected to give the Gay S. Steele Keynote Address.

Following convocation all are welcome to participate in a series of workshops to discuss a wide range of workshops that speak to the relevance of Dr. King’s work in the 21st century.
