Winthrop University Campus Highlight
This past year, Winthrop University experienced one of its greatest civic engagement achievements with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. Celebrated annually on Dr. King’s birthday, January 16th, the day has been an excellent opportunity for Winthrop students to serve their community through on- and offcampus volunteering. This year, Winthrop sent over two hundred students, along with faculty and staff, out into the Rock Hill community to serve its residents who were in need. The nearly dozen projects that
students volunteered for ranged from picking up trash along the highways to delivering meals for the elderly to packing lunch bags for children in need. The Day of Service was a part of a two-day celebration of Dr. King’s life and work, with a memorial and candlelight vigil held in his honor by the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. It was an excellent opportunity for our students to learn and grow through service.
