This year, Penn State Scranton students played a major role in the campus' annual MLK Day celebration, which was held virtually. Students chose a writing of Dr. Martin Luther King, read from it, and then spoke about why they chose that particular piece and what it meant to them in their own lives -- giving a very personal and touching component to the celebration. The campus also awarded its Excellence in Diversity Awards to recipients who logged into the event.
