Clark\u2019s observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day continues on Friday, Jan. 23, with a Day of Service<\/a>; students may register to volunteer with two of Clark\u2019s community partners, the Worcester County Food Bank and the AME Zion Church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the University is sponsoring a canned food drive<\/a> through Feb. 28. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
