A Night of the Arts

Geneva College's Multicultural Student Services (MSS) office will host "A Night of the Arts in Honor of Martin Luther King: The Man. The Vision. The Dream." on Monday, January 16, 2012, at 7 p.m. in the Student Center.

"This evening is an expression of the arts, and provides an opportunity for the campus and community to gather together to celebrate Dr. King," explains Director of MSS Kathy Kinzer. "Our hope is to have a time for people to engage the life and works of Martin Luther King, Jr. in a variety of ways."

Presentations by Geneva students for the evening include original spoken word compositions, performances of Negro spirituals, Gospel mime, a reading of one of Dr. King's works and more.

COL Jazz is a project of Center Of Life, a faith-based community empowerment organization. The members of COL Jazz are young people who are given the opportunity to develop their talents as musicians, engineers and equipment managers at a professional level.
