About the Center for Social Justice

Our Mission

Excelsior University’s Center for Social Justice aims to elevate Excelsior as a model that embraces diversity, challenges the status quo, and strives to create a just world through a focus on equity, access, participation, and human rights.

Our investment in social justice intends to create a platform for meaningful dialogue as an asset to the organization’s decision making and performance, an opportunity to enhance underprivileged students’ access to higher education, and a conduit for all students’ intercultural development.

Our Vison

We advance an inclusive and equitable society that provides access to education, lowers barriers to success, and creates opportunities for fulfillment and impact. We facilitate an inclusive, equitable, and just experience for all types of learners in their development as the next generation of leaders.

Become a Champion

Join us as a champion to amplify the mission of social justice, support the Center for Social Justice, and collaborate through awareness and community action to develop long term solutions to promote equality and justice for all.
