“Everybody can be great,
because anybody can serve.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The College of Charleston's
Fifth Annual
MLK Challenge
A Day of Service
To Commemorate
Dr. King's Dream,
Was Held on January 21, 2008
On this day of service, students are grouped into diverse teams
and given a "challenge" project to benefit the local community.
Since the first MLK Challenge, CofC teams have developed creative solutions to a range of community needs, provided physical and intellectual help around the city, and collected nearly $22,000 worth of project-specific donations.
Faculty and staff participate as team facilitators for the challenge projects
by driving a passenger van, facilitating student problem solving and reflection, and providing guidance when necessary.
