The deadline for submitting nominations has been extended to Dec. 2.

Honorees will be recognized and receive an award at Gateway Technical College’s 23rd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration program at noon January 16, 2017 for exemplifying the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and serving the causes of equality, justice, freedom and peace.
