The Individual, Community, and Systems Advocacy Concentration is a dynamic, multidisciplinary program designed for students passionate about driving social change through advocacy. Integrating a liberal arts perspective with the option for professional credentialing, the curriculum not only provides theoretical knowledge and sociopolitical context about the systemic factors and dynamics that impact individuals, communities and institutions, but it also places a strong emphasis on the development of practical skills and critical thinking essential for effective advocacy. By fostering a deep understanding of the interconnectedness between various levels of advocacy, the concentration prepares students to effectively impact individual lives, shape community initiatives, and influence systemic change. With a concentration in Individuals, Community, and Systems Advocacy, students are equipped to become future leaders committed to promoting equity and justice in complex societal landscapes. NOTE: students interested in the NACP credential as a victim advocate must take HUS/WMS/SOC/CRM 215 Gender based violence AND HUS/SOC/CRM 301 Victim Advocacy). Students interested in the Concentration in Individual, Community and Systems Advocacy should contact Prof. Christian Williams, the concentration coordinator.
