Justice Education at the Center for Social Concerns
Education for justice is both a commitment and theme embedded in courses, programming, and work with faculty of the Center for Social Concerns. The Center sponsors and co-sponsors events for the campus and local community that serve to educate and to encourage action on behalf of justice and peace. Where possible, we wish to provide various forums for members of our campus and local community to consider and analyze pressing social problems and to draw "principles of reflection, norms of judgment and directives for action from the social teaching of the Church (Octogesima Adveniens, 4)."
