“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’” —Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
These words are the call to action behind the nationwide Day of Service that takes place on the King holiday. Every January, Bard College students, staff, and faculty members take those words to heart as they volunteer with organizations across the Hudson Valley for the College’s MLK Day of Engagement.

MLK Day at Bard
A Day On, Not a Day Off
Every year, student fellows from the CCE organize Bard's MLK Day of Engagement, providing unique opportunities for students to carry out the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King with a “day on, not a day off.” In January, the CCE posts a calendar of events, including places to volunteer on and off campus, a schedule of panels and workshops, and opportunities for staying involved all year.
