Dear Stevens Community,
Thank you to all who participated in the 3rd Annual MLK Day of Service last week. Through service in collaboration with our community partners, we directly impacted over 1,000 people! Collectively, we not only commemorated the remarkable legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but also embodied and celebrated the enduring principles he stood for – the beloved community, service to others, and non-violence.
