College of Idaho:
Below is the schedule for Monday’s MLK Day of Special Recognition. The College’s intent is that it is a “day on” rather than a “day off,” and that everyone is encouraged to take part in any of the day’s activities. Classes will not be held in order to ensure everyone is able to attend events without conflict. This is a campus-wide day of special recognition of the important values extoled by Martin Luther King, Jr., so we hope you will attend some or all of the events throughout the day.
