Geneva Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with Civil Rights Experience


(BEAVER FALLS, Pa.) – Geneva College joins the nation in celebrating the life and legacy of The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 18, 2021, in a series of events hosted by the Center for Student Engagement (CSE).

Students, faculty and staff will meet at the Student Center to participate in “Moments from the Civil Rights Movement: An Interactive Experience” with a simulated March on Washington at 2 p.m., 2:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Later in Skye Lounge at 5:30 p.m., the community can show and increase their knowledge at an MLK Day Trivia contest. The day’s events conclude with a showing of the documentary film “Good Trouble” in John White Chapel.

Geneva CSE Director, Randon Willard, says, “Geneva usually celebrates MLK Day with music, poetry and art; but for the pandemic, this year would have been the 10th annual Night of the Arts. However, the events this time give the Geneva community a unique opportunity to remember, learn about and grow the commitment to non-violent, self-sacrifice exemplified by the life of Dr. King. His legacy of equal rights for all people who were created in the image of God is a unifying force on our campus.”

The hour-long “Moments from the Civil Rights Movement” experience takes participants on a journey around campus to meet key members from the Civil Rights Movement, to experience a Sit-In, and to actively engage in Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.  Geneva College’s a capella group New Song will provide music during the experience. 

Geneva College is a Christ-centered academic community that provides a comprehensive education to equip students for faithful and fruitful service to God and neighbor. Offering over 145 traditional undergraduate majors and programs, fully online Adult Degree Programs and high-demand graduate degrees, Geneva’s programs are recognized for their high quality. Geneva has one of the top 100 undergraduate engineering programs in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report. Adhering to the truth of Scripture, a Geneva education is grounded in God’s Word as well as in a core curriculum designed to prepare students vocationally to think, write and communicate well in today’s world. Geneva was founded and is governed by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) and is a founding member of both the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and IACE (International Association for Christian Education).
