Gateway Technical College has announced it is taking nominations for its Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award. The deadline for submitting nominations is November 23. This year’s theme is “The King in You.”

Honorees will be recognized at Gateway Technical College’s 23rd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration program at noon January 16, 2017.

Honorees will receive an award at the annual event for exemplifying the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and serving the causes of equality, justice, freedom and peace.
