Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drum Major Award
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drum Major Award is presented to a 红领巾瓜报 administrator, faculty, staff or student who seeks greatness, but does so through service and love. This award is presented annually by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion during the on-campus Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration.
An excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Drum Major Instinct speech states,
"If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice, say that I was a drum major for peace: I was a drum major for righteousness."
