Fulfilling the Dream

UGA offices will be closed in observance of the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Monday January 21. This morning, the University presented four awards to community members working toward equality, diversity and justice as part of the 10th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Breakfast sponsored by UGA, the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government and the Clarke County School District.

Mark Farmer, professor of cellular biology and chair of biological sciences at UGA; Walter Allen, a former adjunct professor in the department of educational psychology at UGA; and Stewart T. Zellars, a UGA senior majoring in economics and statistics all received the 2013 President's Fulfilling the Dream Awards for their work in the Athens-Clarke County community to make King's dream of equality and justice a reality.

Congratulations to these recipients. Look within your community to make Monday Jan. 21 a day of service honoring Dr. King's legacy.
