Nominate your students, classmates, and friends for this prestigious activism award!
The Central Campus Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award program honors undergraduates, graduate students, and student groups on Central Campus who best exemplify the leadership and extraordinary vision of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Nominees and awardees will be recognized in the Award Ceremony, which will highlight the various ways in which our students have worked to carry on the spirit of Dr. King. A group is loosely defined, and does not need to be an official registered student organization for consideration.
