Quest for Justice & Peace: Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired Art Contest
Create an original piece of art inspired by the ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and/or civil rights leaders present or past. These ideals include freedom, justice, peace, equality, human rights, and/or social justice. Express yourself by entering visual art (painting, photography, sculpture, video), performance art (music, song, spoken word, dance), or literary art (poetry, short story, speech). If you are submitting performance or literary art, please submit a video in addition to your manuscript.
Community Engagement
Explore intercultural engagement and social justice through the lens of the community you live in. Join us as we learn more about the Jacksonville area through service and experiential learning. Our hope is to engage with the community more in this way in the future.

Multicultural Graduation Celebration
The Multicultural Graduation Celebration acknowledges the value and uniqueness of underrepresented student experiences and serves to commemorate and highlight their accomplishments. We will provide each student that attends the event with a stole to represent their identity that can be worn at our university commencement ceremony. To participate in the event, please complete the registration. Do note: Due to a limited amount of stoles, we cannot accommodate every senior.
