Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a federal holiday designated by Congress as a national day of service – a “day on, not a day off.” The Stevens community honors Dr. King's legacy on campus with a full Week of Service, from January 19-23, 2026, allowing students, faculty, staff, and alumni to engage more deeply in service and reflection. Throughout the week, various speakers discuss the importance of taking nonviolent action toward achieving equality, justice, and change for all, and volunteers have opportunities to work with local organizations.
This 5th annual event aims to be Stevens' largest community service initiative yet. We encourage all students, faculty, staff, and alumni to register and join in celebrating Dr. King’s lasting impact through action and service.
All events are open to all members of the Stevens community (students, faculty, staff, alumni). Registration is required.
