Social Justice Program

The Niebuhr Center’s Social Justice Program is designed to educate, motivate, and alleviate suffering brought about by systemic injustice.  Students learn more about social responsibility and engagement through seminars, discussions, action projects, social justice internships, International fieldwork, grant-supported student/faculty research, and collaborative curricular development with faculty from multiple departments

Internships
The Rosa Parks Intern for Social Justice and the Gandhi Intern for International Justice serve the Elmhurst campus community.

Each intern focuses on particular issue of social justice and serves as a unifying liaison to a range of interested campus constituents (to individual students, student groups, staff, faculty, departments, and programs). The interns’ responsibilities are to educate and create a specific social justice action plan.
