MLK Jr. Day 2012 - A Successful "Day On"

MLK Day was a great success for Campus Communities across the state with Campus Corps programs hosting a variety of events to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! An overwhelming number of volunteers came out to take part in the various events, embracing the idea that the holiday be viewed as a "day on" and an opportunity to be of service to one's community, rather than just another day out of the office. Congratulations to everyone involved in this year's MLK Day National Day of Service, for being a part of such a successful statewide initiative!  And thank you to all volunteers who devoted a great deal of their time and effort to support an important cause!

Projects in Billings & Butte were both featured in their local news stations. Check out the coverage that Campus Corps at MSU-B & M-Tech received for their exceptional MLK Day projects:
