• We encourage events to be spread out through the months of January and February, to allow participants to attend many events, as the MLK Holiday is usually a very crowded programming day.
• We discourage use of the term “Symposium” in events so as to not confuse the public on there being multiple symposia under the coordinating body “MLK Symposium.” Words that units have used instead of “symposium” include: colloquium, series, multi-day event, lecture, showcase, etc.
• In your submission description, you MUST:
  • Explicitly state or reasonably show how the event is related to civil rights, social justice, the symposium theme, or the teachings and work of Dr. Martin Luther King.

You can use the sample event below as a guide.
