As part of its annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration, Mount Union College presented students Monique Friend and Adam Gough and Alliance community member Alex Smith with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award.
Friend is a junior mass media major and English minor from Akron.
91.1 FM, Mount Union's student-run radio station. She also writes a column for The Dynamo student newspaper, has participated in campus study circles and student focus groups, and earned first-place honors for her fiction writing in the Calliope literary magazine contest. She can generally be seen all over campus, smiling and encouraging students to attend the Multicultural Retreat or a Black Student Union meeting or event, or to be involved at the radio station. Heather Brooke Adams, a senior English and religion major from Canton and a 2000 recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award announced Gough as this year's second student award recipient. We frankly find this an encouraging and enviable position in which to be.
