Ashland University is holding a Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy Week, a week full of events bringing students, faculty, staff and the Ashland community together for service, conversation and fellowship while commemorating the American civil rights leader. Staff from AU’s Center for CommUNITY and Belonging are coordinating the celebration, and the events are open to the public.

On Thursday, Jan. 23, there will be a panel discussion on Civil Rights and the Church at the ATS Chapel (910 Center St.) at noon. The featured panelists consist of Yvonne Glass, Ph.D., executive dean of ATS; Peter Slade, Ph.D., professor of religion at AU; and David Graetz, former chief of chaplain services at Lexington VA Health Care System. The moderator will be Jayne Wilcox, assistant professor of theology.
