Social Justice Program Purpose
The purpose of the Social Justice Living Learning Community (SJLLC) is to expose students to the field of Ethnic Studies and provide students the opportunity to engage with each other, faculty, and regional community.

Specific goals for Social Justice residents include:

- Understanding how power, oppression, and privilege operate in our society
- Getting involved with campus community to make a difference
- Becoming an agent of change

This is achieved through community benefits, such as:
-Engaging in community events that the Ethnic Studies program organizes. Previous events include: Indigenous Peoples Day, Day of the Dead, Black Power Matters, and Asian/Pacific Islander Month. The Ethnic Studies program also hosts events with a variety of activist, artists, and scholars that speak about social change in their lives and in society
- Participating in outings or experiences exclusively for SJLLC members, such as visiting San Francisco State University and UC Berkeley to learn about the activist movements that created Ethnic Studies there
- Support from a Peer Academic Leader (PAL) to help you navigate your overall college experience
- Living amidst a connected community of peers who value having an impact on society
