“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
The Department of Service, Diversity and Social Justice cultivates and promotes a campus culture that respects human dignity and encourages and recognizes service, diversity, and social justice through expanded opportunities for student learning, leadership, and civic engagement. The department advises several student organizations, promotes service opportunities (local, national and international) and encourages dialogue around issues of diversity and justice. Look for opportunities to get involved through celebrations, workshops, programs and service trips.
Our founders (The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet) mission is to serve a world in need, and that legacy continues at Fontbonne University through our faculty, staff, students and alumni. You may be looking to do something similar; to give of yourself in a way that utilizes your gifts and talents and serves others along the way. You would not believe the number of different volunteer organizations there are that need someone just like you! It’s true that you are needed; you could volunteer for a short amount of time or longer, you may volunteer with kids or perhaps you’re great with computers. Either way, we are certain there is a place that is a fit for you.
