Mission

The Center for Transformative Justice enriches the campus community through explorative and restorative social justice education. We serve the campus by implementing critical frameworks to better understand the lived experiences of individuals, and their intersectional identities, to build a more equitable learning environment. Using the stories students share with us, we aim to provide programming and spaces that address inequities and barriers students experience.

Vision

CTJ aspires to advance cross cultural communication within our community that strengthens belonging by leveraging critical thinking, courageous dialogue, and humble reflection.
