Mission
The mission of the MLK Symposium Planning Committee is to work collaboratively through the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI) to provide guidance in the University of Michigan's Annual Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium. Every year, faculty, students, staff, academic units, departments, and community members develop programs and initiatives to continue and remember the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In addition to events that focus on historical authenticity and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, programs highlight historical and contemporary issues of race, class, social justice, diversity, and societal change.
The MLK Symposium Planning Committee supports the campus effort by working through OAMI to provide leadership in the following areas:
- Developing a brand identity for the Symposium that will establish a graphics image, overall theme, theme-statement, and suggestions for lectures and program topics.
- Implementing a centralized event registration process, general and targeted marketing and advertising plan, and interactive and print media products for the promotion of the overall Symposium effort.
- Programming and implementing a campus-wide system of events that will speak to a diversity of constituencies and include, but not be limited to, a major opening lecture, keynote speech on the MLK Holiday, major closing lecture, and entertainment event.
- Collaborating with faculty, students, staff, academic units, departments, and student organizations in the development and promotion of MLK Symposium events and activities.
