COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES TO BE HONORED MONDAY

Old Dominion University's College of Health Sciences will receive a Martin Luther King Jr. Award for its community outreach efforts at the Urban League of Hampton Roads' annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Leaders' Breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 19, at Virginia Wesleyan College's Jane P. Batten Student Center.

The college will be honored for its work in improving the quality of life in the campus community through a series of health fairs, working with public-housing residents who have children with asthma and assisting families without health insurance. Awards recognize community leaders and organizations that promote a positive image, exemplify community service and demonstrate the values that model those of King.

The breakfast is co-sponsored by Old Dominion University.

Individual tickets are available for $25. Please contact the Urban League office at 627-0864 for more information.
