51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Monday, January 20, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a time to honor the life and legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In observance of this federal holiday, Florida Atlantic will be closed.

Each year, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø at institutions throughout the State University System of Florida celebrate Dr. King with events, activities and educational programs. At Florida Atlantic, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø pay tribute to Dr. King and his life’s work with annual Days of Service. Today, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø are volunteering at the Davie campus greenhouse, a hands-on resource for teaching and research. On Monday, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will volunteer at the City of Boca Raton Unity Celebration in Mizner Park, where they will assemble packages for Boca Helping Hands.

As we reflect on the spirit of service that Dr. King championed, I encourage everyone to take this day as an opportunity to consider how we can create a brighter future through learning and acts of service.
