At the Morgridge College of Education, social justice is at the core of our community. Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion goes beyond theory. It is woven into the fabric of the College with a commitment to underserved populations in tangible, real-world ways.
Anti-Racism
We're dedicated to going beyond words and taking action against racism and discrimination. Leaders across the College have worked collaboratively to continue existing efforts and initiate new efforts to effect change within the College, the academy and the broader community.
Improving Lives
Our goal is to improve the lives of those who have been marginalized due to their backgrounds. Developing and scaling effective solutions to inequities requires breaking down barriers between disciplines and systems, and actively partnering with communities.
