Our Mission

Our mission is to apply theory and research to drive social change and inspire human expression, reflection, and interconnection.

We accomplish this mission by (a) Constructing deep and diverse learning opportunities for students in and outside of the classroom, (b) Producing, sharing, and responding to disciplinary, and community-based knowledge and research; and (c) Linking to the community through engagement and public service.
