One hundred students used the Martin Luther King Jr. Day break to donate “a day of service to remember a life of service.” As part of the MLK Challenge, students volunteered at one of 10 project sites, including the Adair County Humane Society, Hospice of Northeast Missouri, Victim Support Services and Kirksville Part-Day Head Start among others. The day concluded with a Reflection Dinner on campus. The Multicultural Affairs Center, Student Senate, Missouri Campus Compact and the Center for Teaching and Learning all sponsored the MLK Challenge.
