43rd Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration

January 13, 2025

Dear Campus Community,

As we begin the spring semester, I’d invite you to start with a moment of reflection and inspiration by joining our 43rd Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, “Our Beloved Community,” on Monday, January 20, from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Christ Chapel. Chaplain Bright will deliver the ceremony’s keynote message, “More than Conquerors,” and a small reception will follow in Weidensall Hall.

This event was organized by the College’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the YMCA Hanover at Gettysburg. The ceremony will showcase the musical talents of the Brownsville Church of God Choir and Rev. Dr. Kelly Turner, as well as the Gettysburg Children’s Choir, Gettysburg Chamber Chorale, and the Sunderman Conservatory Jazz Combo—three ensembles proudly directed by our own Sunderman faculty.

I hope each of you had a restorative winter break, and I look forward to partnering with you over the course of the coming semester to advance Dr. King’s remarkable legacy and his vision for a beloved community.

Sincerely,

Bob Iuliano
President
