Call for nominations: MLK ‘Building the Dream Award’

On Monday, Jan. 15, the nation will celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Each year, representatives from Wake Forest and Winston-Salem State Universities form a joint Martin Luther King Jr. programming committee and present the “Building the Dream” awards.

The award is traditionally presented to a student and a professor or administrator from both Wake Forest and Winston-Salem State University who embody the qualities that Dr. King epitomized and actively exercises these qualities in their community (on and off campus) including:

• Leadership
• Commitment to justice
• Determination and resilience
• Community engagement

To nominate a student, faculty or staff member for the “2024 Building the Dream” award, complete this brief form by Jan. 9.

The award recipients will be announced at the invitation-only ceremonial banquet on Monday, January 15.
