Martin Luther King Jr. Day might be a holiday, but some students won't be taking the day off.
The university is now participating in the MLK Day of Service, said Melissa Gruver, coordinator for community involvement.
By noon on Monday, student volunteers will be working with community agencies, such as Neighbor Helping Neighbor, Samaritan House and Buchner Family Services, Gruver said.
Gary Briggs,Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity president, and Brittany Shamlin, NAACP president for the university's chapter, are leading the project.
