Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

This important national holiday should compel all of us to contribute in meaningful ways to our communities.

Dear Wolf Pack Family,

We begin the spring semester with a sense of new beginnings and new responsibilities ahead of us. It is a perfect time to commemorate the meaning of January 20 – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day – and why this important national holiday should compel all of us to contribute in meaningful ways to our communities.

Sixty years ago this month, Dr. King, at a banquet in Atlanta honoring him for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, noted that his mission to make our world a more just and equitable place was ongoing – that the work of improving our communities was something that one commits to on a daily basis. “I must confess that I have enjoyed being on this mountaintop and I am tempted to want to stay here and retreat to a more quiet and serene life,” Dr. King said of receiving the world’s most prestigious peace prize a few weeks earlier in Oslo, Norway. “But something within me reminds me that the valley calls me.”

This calling of Dr. King’s life continues to inspire us all to contribute to the lives of the people around us. We have several opportunities on Jan. 20 to give our time and effort in furthering programs and projects that will help our community continue to flourish. The ASUN Center for Student Engagement and the Multicultural Center are planning two events to honor Dr. King’s legacy.

On January 20, University volunteers have the opportunity to help the Boys and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows in activities that include creating marching signs that will culminate in a march around the Boys and Girls Club facility, as well as the reading of a story about Dr. King’s life. The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at 1090 Bresson Ave. in Reno. Volunteers can use to sign up.

Truckee Meadows Park Foundation will be holding a “Bioblitz” from 9 a.m. until noon at 6800 Pembroke Dr. in Reno on January 20 where volunteers will clean up habitats and identify plants and wildlife in an effort to identify as many species as possible. No experience is required. Please sign up through .

Whatever you choose to do on this National Day of Service, it is important to remember that Dr. King’s legacy lives with us every day. Our actions make his vision real and are at the heart of a larger commitment to building a community we can all be proud to call home.

This is The Wolf Pack Way.

Go Pack!

Sincere regards,

Brian Sandoval
President
