    Tech’s 2022 MLK Days of Service – Jan. 21st & 28th

    To honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., The Tennessee Tech University Commission on the Status of Blacks and the Office of Multicultural Affairs invites you to participate in a week of service!  Instead of taking a day off on January 17th, begin your week “on” and serve your community, learn more about why service to others was such a big part of Dr. King’s life and message.  Below are ideas for how to serve locally and opportunities to honor Dr. King. https://www.tntech.edu/multicultural-affairs/
