ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

A series of events to commemorate the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will take place next week at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, from a special College Coffee to a candlelight ceremony and a “Day of Service” in conjunction with ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ First Baptist Church. The theme of this year's events is “His Past. Your Future. One Dream.”

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students, faculty and staff visited Carousel Cinemas on Oct. 27 for the premiere of DEEP Impact, a diversity education tool that includes a student-produced film created by the Multicultural Center at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's Multicultural Center will debut a new diversity education program on October 27 in a community event at Carousel Cinemas, where a student-produced film will be screened to foster conversations about topics such as race and sexual orientation while addressing biases and stereotypes.

Reflecting on their experience at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and their careers since leaving campus, alumni from the Watson Scholarship Program met for a Homecoming reception in the Multicultural Center on Oct. 23, a gathering that included some of the original class of scholars now celebrating their fifth reunion.

A diverse audience of nearly 200 parents and students gathered in McKinnon Hall on Saturday to listen to a panel discussion about why students and parents should consider ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ as their university of choice and to ask questions on “GAME DAY."

Ten freshmen were welcomed into the Odyssey Program at a Sept. 3 luncheon for recipients of five university scholarships that provide academic and social support for talented students whose access to an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ education would otherwise be limited.
