Panthers,
Due to the potentially icy and dangerous road conditions predicted for Monday (January 17th) morning, MLK Day of Service is postponed.
The Student Civic Engagement team will meet Tuesday with partner organizations to determine the new date for MLK Day of Service. If you registered to attend Monday's event, you are guaranteed a spot to participate! You will be sent a registration confirmation via email once the new date is determined.
Be safe out there everyone.
In Service,
The SCE team:
Ellin, Byron, JP, Manda, Vee, Meghana, Maddie, Suzanne and our MLK Leaders
“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” ―Martin Luther King Jr.

Can someone contact me if an on-campus role opens up? I'm so sad that they're full.
