Northwest Social Justice Institute-Spring 2023 Cohort |
The Social Justice Institute (SJI) is a cohort-based forum for Northwest employees to obtain professional and personal development in the area of diversity and inclusion. The Social Justice Institute allows participants the opportunity to enhance and refine their competencies to create an inclusive environment for the Northwest community. Northwest employees are invited to participate in a four-class cohort with the Dr. Justin Mallett, Assistant Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. During the classes, participants will engage in authentic dialogue around campus climate, inclusive pedagogy, and analyzing the world through an inclusive lens. Also, participants will learn more about their own identity as it relates to power, privilege and oppression while analyzing ways their identity affects everyday decision making. The Social Justice Institute aims to create a more inclusive campus environment to enhance the success of all students.
