The Office of Campus Life  at UALR is sponsoring its annual Martin Luther King Jr. week starting Monday, Jan. 20, with “A Day of Service” to honor and reflect upon Dr. King’s legacy.

Carrying out Dr. King’s dream through service shows that although life brings challenges, they may be overcome when diverse groups work together in a spirit of cooperation, according to Kara M. Brown, diversity programs coordinator at UALR.

Brown shared the following schedule of events for MLK week at UALR:
