On Wednesday, January 15th, 2025, over 10 faculty and graduate students from the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management's Inclusion Diversity Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee were honored to attend the 50th annual MLK Banquet sponsored by the Forum on Black Affairs (FOBA).

The commemorative banquet, themed 'Change Continues With US,' served as a remarkable opportunity to bring together local organizations, businesses, and community members. The event was designed to strengthen the bonds within the Penn State and State College communities by fostering the just and equitable society that Dr. King envisioned. This year's event included a number of wonderful speakers, performers, and food.
