SUNY Oswego's MLK Day Committee is proud to share the details for this year’s commemorative events, focusing on celebration, reflection and community action.
The annual campus celebration will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, in the Hewitt Hall ballroom.
The program's theme this year is "Moving the Dream Forward: Music Through the Movement." The evening is structured to blend academic insight with cultural performance, ensuring a meaningful experience for all attendees.
The celebration will feature James Dekle of Purdue University as keynote speaker, with a cultural festival included. Attendees can enjoy performances by the Syracuse Gospel Choir, as well as student, faculty, and staff talent from the SUNY Oswego community.
This event presents a valuable opportunity to reflect on Dr. King’s enduring vision and the ongoing work needed to advance it.
