The Eagle Endowment for Public and Community Service and the Graduate Student Council awarded two AU graduate students, Paul Glick and Lindsey Kingston, with the second annual Martin Luther King Jr. Grant. A five-member committee selected Glick and Klingston for the $1,000 award.
The students' project was titled "The Webb Elementary School Book Club." The aim of their project is to establish a book club at Webb Elementary School of Northwest D.C. in hopes of helping students gain a love for reading, according to Glick and Kingston's application abstract. Because of low test scores, the school is at risk for closing.
A ceremony was held in their honor Tuesday at the Kay Spiritual Life Center. Students applied for the grant by submitting an eight-page application in December.
