Providing hope and courage to those on the front lines of change

In a world often marked by division and uncertainty, our students and alumni are making a profound difference. They harness restorative practices to bridge divides, confront racism, and champion educational equity. They reach out to marginalized youth, support disenfranchised immigrant children, aid prisoners reintegrating into society, and foster strong, inclusive communities.

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of this initiative. Contributions will directly support the development and eventual accessibility of the following funds: Professional Development Fund, Visiting Faculty Fund, and Student Auxiliary Fund.
