Help Habitat for Humanity to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Two events are planned this year to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Saint Leo community is invited to participate in the annual service day in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This year, the university is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to conduct a “build day” on Friday, January 18, in Dade City, FL.
Faculty, staff, and students are welcome. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more details, contact Gerard Wiltshire, graduate assistant for Greek Life and Community Engagement, gerard.wiltshire@saintleo.edu.
“Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing organization working locally and in nearly 1,400 communities across the United States and in approximately 70 countries around the world,” according to its website. The organization hopes to build a world in which everyone has a decent place to live.
The university also will host a spoken-word event at 5 p.m., Tuesday, January 22, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students will give spoken-word presentations (poetry, rap, and other forms of communication) that they have created to discuss King and his work. The event will take place in a coffeehouse atmosphere in the Glen E. Greenfelder and Janet L. Denlinger Boardrooms in the Student Community Center, and will feature catered refreshments.
For more information, contact gerard.wiltshire@saintleo.edu or call (352) 588-6525.
