Social Justice and Identity Mission

The mission of the SCSJI is to foster an environment of inclusion and multiculturalism by increasing students and student organizations’ development around intercultural competence and social justice as well as promote co-curricular programming that celebrates and recognizes the various cultures of the Vanderbilt student body.  

Social Justice and Identity Vision

Our vision is to foster a community dedicated to critical dialogue and inclusive engagement that works collaboratively to create change. We will accomplish this by empowering Vanderbilt student leaders to be “social actors who have a sense of their own agency as well as a sense of social responsibility toward and with others, their society, the environment, and the broader world in which we live” (Bell, 2018, p. 34).
