The MLK Academy's mission is to engage students in discovery and learning experiences to facilitate academic success, engagement, and participation in a multicultural world.
Though programming and engagement with professional staff and academy peer leaders, MLK scholars are introduced to an environment that promotes strong academic achievement and leadership opportunities as well as encourages participation in events that advance diversity on and off campus.
For all program levels, the academy provides academic course review, academic coaching, free tutoring, campus life and socialization, as well as diverse, cultural, and wellness education programs; each tier is designed to address particular development milestones associated with that phase of the student鈥檚 matriculation. This support is offered to students from first year through graduation.
MLK scholars are recipients of the MLK G.O.L.D. Scholarship. The MLK Academy is housed in Multicultural Affairs for Students.
