Call for Nominations : The Fourth Annual Martin Luther King

In recognition of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.'s commitment to community service essential to the struggle for equality, the 1999 Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Program Planning Committee of the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce the Fourth Annual Community Involvement Recognition Awards. The Awards have been conceived to honor members of the Philadelphia community whose service involvements have best exemplified the ideals espoused by Dr. King. Four awards in total will be presented; two will go to members of the Penn community, and two will honor members of the broader community. The awards will be presented on January 18, 1999, as a part of the University's commemoration of the King Holiday.
