Getting Involved in Social Justice Activism as a Student
By Lilith Osburn-Cole. — 2021
When looking back on my undergraduate years, I think about the moments that truly changed me and shaped my understanding of what being in college really means. Yes, going to class, cramming for tests, being involved are all part of the college culture. However, campus is also a space of transformation that challenges your worldview. Social Justice activism lies at the epicenter of that transformative experience.
