Social Justice Center Events & Activities

The Social Justice Center strengthens and supports our campus' equity programs, students and student clubs, equity-minded faculty & staff and serves as a hub to bring them all together. We work hand-in-hand with our campus and community partners for collaboration to provide educational events and activities that address social justice issues; and student leadership training, mentorship and development for the next generation of social justice leaders.

Social Justice Leadership in Action

Are you a student interested in building your leadership skills and exploring your passion for social justice?

We are looking to help students grow as leaders - from the inside out!

Each Fall, the Social Justice Center provides leadership training that provides students with an opportunity to tap into their strengths, skills and authentic leadership abilities through identity exploration, collaborative group activities and site visits to local grassroots community organizations.

FALL 2025 Registration is now OPEN.
** Submit interest form here **

Deadline to submit is Sept 21, 2025.

Alternative Spring Break (ASB)

Alternative Spring Break seeks to provide students with an opportunity to work with community agencies, needs, and populations in a week-long service and immersion experience. Students will travel out and participate in an array of service projects, discussions, and workshops to immerse themselves with different social, environmental, and economic issues.

When is the Alternative Spring Break trip? We will be traveling during Spring Break in April 2026.

Where are we going? In the past, we have taken students to San Diego, close to the US-Mexico border region. We have not yet determined where ASB 2026 will go.

How much do the trips cost? Students do not need to pay to participate in this Alternative Spring Break trip. We will cover transportation, lodging, food and activity expenses. This is subject to change, based on budget availability.

When can I register?
Check back in the Spring for registration information.
