School of Culture, Gender, and Social Justice

The School of Culture, Gender, and Social Justice seeks to combine academic expertise with community engagement and educational opportunities to foster dialogue and understanding to empower positive inspirational change at the local, state, national, and global levels. 

Our school has an interdisciplinary approach grounded in its rural roots and focused on the inclusion and empowerment of all people. We provide students with an education that gives them the tools to understand today’s and tomorrow’s complex social issues and to be leaders and problem solvers.
