Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In April 2017, the University of St. Thomas was named a Changemaker Campus by Ashoka U (Ashokau.org), a consortium of over 40 colleges working to inspire a culture of social innovation and changemaking in higher education. The Changemaker Campus designation aligns with the University of St. Thomas’ mission (to “educate students to be morally responsible leaders who think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good”) by emphasizing the value of curriculum and programming that help campus members empathize with community stakeholders, develop understanding, and build true collaborations to solve social and environmental problems. At St. Thomas, we have a long tradition of working for the common good as it relates to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. Distinguishing Changemaking from service allows us to focus our energy and resources on developing solutions that change the systems that perpetuate inequities and injustices that have been influenced by service.
