The Social Justice Studies Graduate Distinction

All students are encouraged to complete any number of Social Justice Studies courses.
However, those who want to enjoy the full Social Justice experience will have an opportunity
to earn a Social Justice Studies (SJS) Distinction. The SJS Distinction offers students
an opportunity to work more closely with socially-engaged 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ faculty and exposes
students to interdisciplinary approaches to social justice work. Earning the SJS Graduate
Distinction creates a unique advantage for students’ future employment, scholarship
opportunities, and personal development. Through coursework, mentorship, and a Capstone Project, SJS scholars are encouraged to explore opportunities which empower them to become
active participants in their campuses, communities and workplaces.
A student who earns the SJS Distinction will meet the following requirements while
earning their Associate’s degree at 91ÖÆÆ¬³§:
