UT Holding Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Feb. 6

Students, faculty and staff from The University of Tampa will honor the legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a day of service to the Tampa Bay community on Saturday, Feb. 6.

Emily Little ’18, community outreach co-director for UT’s PEACE Volunteer Center, said this annual tradition at the University is a great way for students to get out into the Tampa Bay community.

“Students should sign up for this event, because it is a wonderful chance to give back to the community, interact with passionate and inspiring individuals, and witness how volunteering can greatly impact the local community,” said Little.
