The
Virginia Wesleyan College commitment to service continues on this day of
tribute to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. According to Dr. King,
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘What are you doing for
others?’”
Volunteers
from our campus community are engaged in serving others today in a
collaborative event at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church. We partner with our
neighbors from the Virginia Beach Police Department, Western Bayside Churches
United and Bayside High School to focus on building positive relationships and to
promote literacy by building a Little Free Library at Good Samaritan Church.
In
addition, our campus community will have an opportunity to reflect on the life
of Dr. King at an evening presentation, entitled
“Against All Odds,” by Dr. Adrienne Coqueran. During this special Winter Session event, Dr. Coqueran will share
her inspiring story of determination and the obstacles she overcame on her
journey to becoming a physician.

I’m proud to be a part of a community that continually asks “what are you doing for others” today and every day.
