Empowering Change: Activism and Education for Social Justice at SLU

The spirit of activism and social justice resonates deeply within the fabric of our institution, epitomized by the dedication of our esteemed faculty members. Despite facing challenges, including the absence of our founding figure, Dr. GRE Manos, whose vision continues to guide us, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing accessible education and fostering a culture of empowerment. With initiatives like our public programming and community engagement, we strive to create a nurturing environment where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery and liberation.

As we reflect on the past five years of our school's journey, it's evident that our impact extends far beyond the confines of academia. Through partnerships with institutions like the Commy School of Law, we pave the way for future generations of immigration lawyers and social justice advocates. Rooted in the wisdom of Toni Morrison, we embrace the notion of owning our freed selves, empowering our students and community members to navigate the complexities of identity and liberation. With a faculty dedicated to nurturing critical thinking and fostering dialogue, we continue to shape minds and inspire change-makers for a more just and equitable society.

At the heart of our institution lies a commitment to nurturing not only academic excellence but also personal and social transformation. With gratitude for the tireless efforts of our faculty and the visionaries who paved the way, we look forward to the continued growth and impact of our school as we empower individuals to embrace their true selves and enact positive change in the world.
