Community Engagement Events
The Longest Table
The Longest Table brings students, faculty, staff, and community members together to share a meal and conversation across a long, continuous table in front of the Lyceum. Created in 2019, the event honors the legacy of distinguished alumnus , the university's first Black student.

Each year, the Open Doors event welcomes students to the Lyceum, where they meet campus administrators and learn about their roles. This night of conversation and connection aims to foster year-round dialogue across our campus community.
Martin Luther King Dinner and Celebration
The MLK Dinner and Celebration brings together members of our campus community to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and advance the goals of unity and community service. The event features a keynote address, live music, and connection and conversation.
Martin Luther King Day of Service
The MLK Day of Service brings students, faculty, staff, and community members together to serve Oxford and Lafayette County each Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This project honors the civil rights leader's legacy of service and provides a tangible, meaningful way to give back to our community.
Move Out Donation Drive
The Move Out Donation Drive collects gently used clothing, furniture, electronics, and other dormitory items from students during Move Out Week. These donations are then distributed to those in the local community, helping support others and reducing waste while promoting sustainability and community engagement among students.
