Indiana University faculty, staff, and students came together virtually to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with the second annual Social Justice Conference. Monday's celebration, A Journey Toward True Education: Social Justice Conference 2022, included speakers, panel discussions, and music provided by the African American Arts Institute, as well as the presentation of the winners of the 2022 Building Bridges Award and the inaugural MLK Student Organization Grant.
The Building Bridges Award honors Indiana University faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community partners across IU's campuses who capture King's spirit, vision, and leadership. The MLK Student Organization Grant awards $500 to a student organization for programs, event sponsorships, or efforts supporting inclusivity, respect for diversity, and community service.
