For WU, social change is not just something they talk about—social change is who they are. Since 1970, they’ve provided a diverse community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can apply what they’ve learned to effect positive social change. As students, we gain the skills and inspiration we need to make a difference by addressing challenges where we live, in our profession, and in the world around us.
