Students, faculty and staff are invited to serve the community as part of a University-wide commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy on Monday, Jan. 18. This year, Penn State Lehigh Valley will serve as the host for dozens of students from the Northeast Regional Penn State campuses as they gather in Center Valley to honor the vision of King and perform service at locations throughout the Lehigh Valley community.
After registration and breakfast beginning at 9 a.m., Chancellor Tina Q. Richardson will welcome everyone and introduce the keynote speaker and slam poetry performer Odd Rod at 10 a.m.
At 11:15 a.m. the students, who represent the Lehigh Valley, Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre, Worthington Scranton, and Schuylkill campuses, will depart for their service projects at eight local sites, including: Cetronia Fire Company, Sixth Street Shelter, Flint Hill Farm, Alternative Art Gallery and Animals in Distress.
