Kambrie Colwell, of Susquehanna, is one of nearly 110 volunteers who honored Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy through Alvernia University's annual MLK Day of Service focused on community connection, creativity, and meaningful impact. Nearly 110 participants volunteered, engaging in hands-on service activities designed to support local organizations and address community needs.

This year's project is part of a partnership with VOiCEup Berks and centers on the theme of Cultural Unity with a focus on Allyship. Colwell created individual artwork using canvas tiles and markers. Once finished, volunteers photographed their pieces and uploaded them to a shared folder. These images will be used to assemble a larger digital mural to be displayed on Alvernia's campus. Participants were able to take their canvas tiles with them as a reminder of the day.

The MLK Day of Service reflects Alvernia's commitment to experiential learning, civic engagement, and youth empowerment, encouraging students to translate classroom learning into action while making a difference in the community.
