Dear Anteaters,
We invite you to attend the Cross-Cultural Center’s signature program, Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium, on February 18-21, 2025. This annual winter event is open to all students, faculty, and staff as we honor Dr. King and celebrate Black Hxstory Month.
The first 150 people who RSVP and check-in at the kick-off celebration on February 18 from 12-1 p.m. will receive one of two limited edition stickers exclusive to this event and other surprises. Additionally, there will be many opportunity drawing prizes such as limited edition tote bags, enamel pins, POP MART and MINISO blind boxes, and more.
RSVP via CampusGroups. Attending more programs throughout the week will give you multiple entries to win one of our many opportunity drawing prizes. General questions about the event can be sent to cccorgs@uci.edu.
