Every year, University of Oregon faculty and staff members whose activities embody the values of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., including an interest in public service, have the opportunity to be honored with an MLK Award.

The UO Libraries’ Diversity Committee is encouraging all members of the campus community to submit nominations for the purchase of diversity-related materials to add to the library’s collections. Priority consideration will be given to nominations submitted by Dec. 6, 2013.

The committee established the Library Diversity Fund last year to set aside funds to purchase materials that add to the library’s diversity collections.
