In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of America's most revered advocates for racial justice and social change, the College of Arts and Sciences, in collaboration with the Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies, will once again offer a special one-credit workshop to be held on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Now in its seventh year, the event will be offered in-person with a virtual, livestream option. Pre-registration is required.
For those who wish to view the event virtually, a link to join the event will be sent via email upon registration.
This year, the keynote address will be presented by Drew Hart, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Theology at Messiah University.
Additional course content for the day includes esteemed faculty colleagues presenting informative assessments of historical and contemporary issues and applying their disciplinary skills to discuss a range of topics, including social experience, racism, sexism, classism, religious intolerance, hate speech, instructional content and teacher preparation.
As part of the symposium, participants will also have the opportunity to participate in an Interactive Community Idea Board to share their valuable insights, engage and interact with each other, identifying takeaways throughout the day, and share their commitment and actions that could extend beyond the event and into the participants’ communities.
