In honor of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s awareness that local engagement is essential to the struggle for equality, the awards honor members of the community whose local engagement and active service to others best exemplifies the ideals Dr. King espoused.

The 2018 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Involvement Recognition Awards will be presented to five individuals including Penn faculty, staff and students as well as members of the community. Individuals whose work most merits recognition should be nominated, so those most deserving get these awards.
