MLK Week

Salve Regina's MLK week is an annual tradition celebrating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. With events and remembrances, we examine the history of the civil rights movement and the impact of persistent racial disparities. Through education, dialogue and community engagement and service, we seek to advance committed action around the critical concerns of anti-racism and nonviolence, and further the mercy, Catholic mission of the University.

Participating in MLK Week is more than just an activity, it's an experience. It helps build community by honoring the work of Dr. King through celebration and conversation. Students can find new communities by attending events and also foster the communities they have by engaging in learning experiences together.
