Civically Engaged Ninth Graders

Dr. Michael Sanders and his Ninth Grade Advisory Group
We want to give a special thank you to The Lovett School and in particular Dr. Michael Sanders and his 9th Grade Advisory Group for coming to serve at Clifton Sanctuary Ministries. Each year the incoming freshmen at The Lovett School participate in SING, Service Initiation for Ninth Graders, which seeks to promote civic engagement and foster in their students a sense of community and connection to the city at large through service in the Greater Atlanta area. This group put together hygiene kits, helped clean our clothing closet and did laundry, all while learning about the population which we serve. Thank you for your gifts of time and service.

MLK Community Service Awards
“Voices for Social, Economic and Political Justice”
For over nineteen years, the Rollins School of Public has honored the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Service Awards Program. The genesis of this celebration grew out of dialogue in 1993 between Dr. Joyce Essien and then Dean of the School of Public Health, Ray Greenburg where they agreed that it was time to align the mission and values of Public Health with the precepts of social justice. With the support of our current Dean James Curran and the diligent work of faculty, staff, and students, this program has grown to be a major event among the calendar of King Week activities held at Emory. Our program is unique as the only event that has consistently recognized and celebrated people and organizations in greater Atlanta whose work exemplifies the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr..
This year’s program, as in past years, is sponsored by the Rollins School of Public Health and the Goizueta Business School and our theme is “Voices for Social, Economic and Political Justice.” This event took place on Thursday, January 19, 2012 in the auditorium of the Claudia Nance Rollins Building, Rollins School of Public Health (1518 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30322) and was followed by a catered reception.
