The Social Justice Institute strives to create a just world. We examine the root causes of social injustice and develop innovative solutions by supporting creative research, scholarship, and pedagogy; social justice leaders on and off campus; and relationships within the university and into the community. We work to eradicate all systems of oppression by redistributing and expanding resources and opportunities while exalting human dignity. We believe in:
Action | Community Involvement | Education | Empathetic Relationships
Equity | Human Dignity | Inclusiveness | Intergenerational Dialogue
