There’s still time to be part of the first-ever Summer Social Justice Institute.

Columbia's first-ever Summer Social Justice Institute is still accepting applications. Students from all academic disciplines are invited to apply by June 20 and register for the Summer Social Justice Institute.

The Summer Institute is an intensive immersive experience where students can focus on their own academic discipline or creative practice during the summer while integrating and expanding their knowledge on a range of issues related to social justice.

Each approved student will receive a $1,000 scholarship towards the cost of the summer 3-credit class due to generous donor support for this initiative.

Seats are still available in the Topics in Creativity and Social Justice session. The deadline to apply has been extended to Monday, June 20.
