MLK Day 2025 Events and Service Opportunities

“We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

One of the pillars on which our university is built is engaged citizenship. We are part of Flint, just as Flint is part of us. Service to our Flint and Genesee County community is a year-round priority for us. On Monday, January 20, 2025, we will have an opportunity to continue our relationship with our community partners and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as we have every year since 1995.

We are happy to offer an in-person breakfast keynote speaker session three U of M Flint Panelists, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the University Center Michigan Rooms. Everyone is invited to attend the breakfast beginning at 8:30 a.m.
