Welcome to the Center for Social Justice & Inclusion!

The mission and vision of the CSJI is to be an affirming, accessible, and inclusive space where learning & compassion is fostered through community & belonging. At the center of our work is our core values - the ideals and concepts that are integral to promoting our mission and reaching our vision. These values are student-focused approaches, equity, curiosity, resourcefulness, and accessibility.
