Each year, the UW Health Sciences Schools and Administration pay tribute to Dr. King with an annual celebration honoring his life and legacy. At this annual event, each UW Health Sciences School honors a member or group from among its students, staff, faculty, or broader connected community who exemplify Dr. King’s principles through a commitment to addressing community needs, particularly for communities of color or low income, development and implementation of significant programs to improve the human condition, and outstanding efforts to protect and empower all individuals.

The UW School of Nursing is proud to announce that the Seattle Public School Nurses and Student Health Services will receive the annual UW Health Sciences Martin Luther King Jr. Service Award.

This event is open to the public.
