Students, Staff Put Service into Action on MLK Day

Students and staff spent this Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrating the life and works of the civil rights icon.

The Center for Faith and Justice held its annual service project making fleece blankets and sandwiches to deliver to local shelters. Afterwards, the center hosted a dinner and discussion to talk more about the mission and life of MLK.

“How he changed the world is inspiring, and it motivates me,” said Autumn Cronmiller ’28, a first-year early childhood education major, who helped to make fleece blankets. “It’s important for me because I want to be able to help people in the community and people in need. I like to know that I’m making a difference, even if it’s a small difference.”  

Later that week, hundreds of students, faculty, and staff came together for the annual Feast Day service project, assembling care packages, lunch bags, and blankets for those in need throughout our region.
