Northern State University students and staff gave back to the community through the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service event.
The event took place on Monday, Jan. 20, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
A total of 17 students volunteered at two different locations: the St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center and the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
The MLK Jr. Day of Service is sponsored by NSU Multicultural Student Affairs. More photos from the day can be found on the SDSBVI Facebook page.
Northern gives back to the community in many ways, including assisting The Salvation Army in various ways over the holidays.
Northern student-athletes also participate in annual volunteer events, including the annual United Way Day of Champions.
All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to submit their volunteer hours through this online form.
