Highlights MLK Day of Service The A Weekly Look at the Cottey College Campus Chronicle volume XXXII, number 18, January 12, 2018 Highlights MLK Day of Service The birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was marked as a federal holiday in 1983, and in 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, designating the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service. Taking place each year on the third Monday in January, the MLK Day of Service is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service – a "day on, not a day off." It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems and moves us closer to Dr. King's vision of a "Beloved Community." Cottey will mark this day of service on Monday, January 15, 2018, with the following events (more details forthcoming!) These events are open to all faculty, staff and students. Please consider participating and offering attendance to the events as an alternative/extra credit assignment for your students if you are teaching a class.

The decision to cancel classes for the entire day or start late will be made typically between 6:00-6:30 a.m. The College will send announcements via the ENS (Emergency Notification System)**, text/voice messages, and emails, and on answering systems for any number provided to the College for that purpose. If need be, please update your emergency information online at www.cottey.edu/emergency-enroll-instructions. Public Information will put announcements on area TV/radio stations and on the website. If it becomes necessary to cancel classes for any reason after the class day has begun, the same process will be followed. Our best advice for students, staff, and faculty is to check the College website and text/email. **To receive messages from the ENS, the recipients must first input correct cell numbers into the emergency information site at www.cottey.edu/emergency-enroll-instructions.

Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. This production is being presented by the Nebraska Theatre Caravan. Welcome New Staff! Cottey is excited to welcome two new staff members to our Athletic Staff!
