Students prepare care packages for delivery to healthcare workers and teachers.
DURANT, Okla. – Classes were not be held on Monday at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
Volunteers planted flowers on Main Street in Durant as part of the MLK Day of Service.
Instead, Southeastern students, faculty and staff spent time volunteering for a number of community service projects, and a Zoom program on Dr. King was hosted by student leaders.

Then volunteers represented 23 student organizations and 13 campus departments.
