The Center for Justice & Reconciliation (CJR) engages students across the 国产剧麻豆剧 campus in our work with a student-led Ambassador Program. Every school year we aim to equip student ambassadors to apply their academic education to difficult conversations about the complex world we live in. Heather Corbin expressed why she became a CJR Ambassador
"I believe CJR is an amazing learning and growth experience to be involved in; being able to be the hands and feet of God in the very prevalent issues in society today is key in moving towards greater change. I have always had a deep desire to help marginalized populations in society. Human rights, equality, ethics, and social justice have been the driving forces for my actions. I am a firm believer in the idea that everyone, no matter what background, deserves the opportunities and pathways that further their successes. Working to better the systems that we have in place is my lifelong goal."
- Heather Corbin
Through meeting regularly, volunteering together, and hosting campus-wide events, the Ambassador Program provides a space to grow and learn while processing complex social justice issues. The CJR is encouraged to grow our Ambassador Program into three teams and accepted 26 CJR Ambassadors. Needless to say, we are very excited to start the semester with some great conversations!
