Apply to the Community Scholars Program!

Now more than ever, students might be seeking an opportunity to work on issues of social change.  Mounting and intersecting crises are deepening inequality and suffering in the U.S. and across the globe. Thankfully, there are many examples of resistance, community engagement, networks of mutual aid, and alternative models that we can look toward as we vision and build a different future together.

Curious about what current CSP students have to say about their experience learning about social change and visioning a new and more equitable world?

“From the program as a whole, I have experienced a rekindling of hope that a good society is not only possible, but that it will be successful.”

“The people currently making a good society happen need numbers, they need support, they need hope. I have gained a much greater awareness for the process of creating social change, and my own role within this process, as a result of this program”

Apply to the CSP and join a meaningful, vibrant learning community surrounded by staff, professors and peers who are engaged in work of social justice and social change. Read more HERE.
