Social Justice

In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, Roosevelt University’s dedication to “the enlightenment of the human spirit” shines brightest in our unique commitment to social justice. Since 1045, Roosevelt University has been nationally recognized for offering a transformative education that empowers qualified students to consider their greater place within a global society.

Our view of social justice is based in a belief that fairness, honesty, integrity and impartiality should resonate throughout every institution within a civil society...

The university's journalism program, its faculty and its students, embrace that mantra and seeks by public affairs journalism projects like this one, to make a difference by contributing to the public discourse.
