About the Social Justice Mini-Grant Program
The mini-grant program is one way student leaders can contribute to a culture of inclusion, belonging, and social justice at Columbia. As this year’s grantees embark on their efforts to create opportunities for our community to engage on a variety of social justice topics, they will receive funding, mentorship, communications, and logistical support.
We hope you will learn from and participate in their projects, which will include events, podcasts, documentaries, and more. Keep an eye out for ways to engage in our weekly Events and Opportunities emails, Instagram, and Facebook.
We wish to thank the Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life for their generous support and partnership with this program. You can learn more about the program here.
Sincerely,
Joseph Defraine Greenwell, Ed.D.
