Martin Luther King Jr. Community Event

Join us for the 27th annual region-wide MLK Community Event! PNW will invite the Northwest Indiana community to a virtual program celebrating diversity and inclusion through the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Program highlights included:

• A keynote presentation by Nicky Jackson, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at PNW
• Opening remarks from PNW Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Kenneth C. Holford
• Musical interlude by Jenne Carey
