Celebrating Community and Excellence at Geisel’s 2026 MLK Service Awards

Celebrating Community and Excellence at Geisel’s 2026 MLK Service Awards

The Geisel School of Medicine’s Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement (DICE) honored the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy during its fourth annual, “I AM THE DREAM: Past, Present and Future” service awards luncheon on January 19. The annual event recognizes individuals or organizations who have strengthened communities and created solutions to social problems, advancing King’s vision of a “beloved community.” This year’s theme, Building Community and Uniting a Nation, is a blueprint for action—guiding programming, fueling outreach, and anchoring DICE’s commitment to building the community King envisioned.
