Martin Luther King Jr. 日纪念活动

Metropolitan State University of 丹佛 will be closed 1月. 17 so that Roadrunners can observe Martin Luther King Jr. 一天. 密歇根州立大学丹佛 has historically observed MLK 一天 in December as part of an alternate holiday schedule to provide employees an extended winter break; this closure will be in addition to the December observance, which can be found alongside other University holidays on 密歇根州立大学丹佛’s 2022 holiday calendar.

In light of the challenges facing workers during the pandemic, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis granted an additional holiday to state employees on the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2021. Since 密歇根州立大学丹佛 already observes that holiday, we were able to reallocate a holiday in further recognition of the contributions of Dr. King and in celebration of his life.

MLK 一天 is celebrated across the nation every 1月uary to honor the civil rights icon’s birthday with a day of service; it is the only federal holiday designated as such. The University also commemorates Dr. King with the annual MLK Peace Breakfast, a presence in 丹佛’s Marade, and by encouraging community service on MLK 一天 and year-round.

真诚地,
