Committee Members Needed To Help Plan MLK Events At Boise State

Boise State University’s Martin Luther King Jr./Idaho Human Rights celebration planning committee is looking for students and community members to help organize the 2004 event. The committee will select a theme and form subcommittees in the following areas: entertainment, student essay contest, volunteer project, march and rally, celebration dinner, educational workshops and keynote speaker.     The goal of the Martin Luther King Jr./Human Rights Celebration is to provide Boise State students, as well as residents of the community and state, with programs that educate on issues of diversity and multiculturalism. The committee believes that education must be accompanied by social activism in celebration of King’s vision. Over the years, this has led to partnerships with campus and community human rights organizations in an effort to enhance racial tolerance in Idaho.     To volunteer or for more information, contact Boise State Student Activities at 426-1223.   Contact Rob Meyer Student Activities 208 426-1224 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275 Return to News home
