Given the global pandemic, the sixth annual campus-wide observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Walk the Walk Week will look different than in previous years. This year, we will mark MLK Day on Monday, January 18, with a discussion between Justice Alan Page ’67 and G. Marcus Cole, Joseph A. Matson Dean of the Law School at 12 p.m. EST. You can view a recording of this conversation below.
This year, we will observe Walk the Walk Week from February 22 through February 28, after the University community reconvenes on campus on February 3. Walk the Walk Week is a week-long series of University and department sponsored events designed to help each of us consider the steps we might take individually and collectively to make Notre Dame, our communities, and our nation more welcoming and inclusive.
On behalf of University President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and the President's Oversight Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, we invite you to participate in the Jan. 18 MLK Day event with Justice Page as well as the events of Walk the Walk Week. Information about events being planned as part of Walk the Walk Week can be found below. Please note that the list will continue to grow as more events are added between now and February 22.
Retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page, ND '67, joined G. Marcus Cole, the Joseph A. Matson Dean of Notre Dame Law School for a conversation on Jan. 18. They discussed the challenges facing the country and Page provided advice for making society more inclusive.
