Honoring MLK Day: A Day ON for Service

Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr Day

“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve…. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

Join us in celebrating MLK Jr. Day by participating in activities that address barriers to health equity in our communities. Share any additional service opportunities with us at UIHDiversity@uic.edu. We'll add them to this list.
