Every year, the WashU Medicine community honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during a week of programming open to our campus and community.

Events include keynote speakers, service opportunities, panel discussions, and more.

MLK Week 2025

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the 2025 program features opportunities to engage with impactful discussions, thought-provoking exhibits, and inspiring speakers, all centered around themes of equity, inclusion, and social justice. From the kickoff of our book and film club to the commemoration of the Desegregation History exhibit and updates on our DEI initiatives, there’s something for everyone. Highlighting the week, Dr. Kemi Doll will deliver a keynote as part of the Inclusive Excellence Speaker Series.
