Martin Luther King Jr. Week of Service

Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a federal holiday designated by Congress as a national day of service – a “day on, not a day off.” This year, the Stevens community will honor Dr. King's legacy with a full Week of Service, from January 27-31 2025, allowing students, faculty, staff, and alumni to engage more deeply in service and reflection. Throughout the week, various speakers will discuss the importance of taking nonviolent action toward achieving equality, justice, and change for all, and volunteers will have expanded opportunities to work with local organizations.
