For 30 years, the campus community has come together in January to celebrate the life, legacy, and ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at our annual Peace Breakfast. The highlight of the gathering is an awards ceremony that acknowledges and celebrates individuals who keep Dr. King’s spirit and dream alive through their contributions to peace, justice, diversity, equality, and social change.
