Campus Climate Support

NYU Silver is committed to building a community where every person is valued, welcomed and supported by campus-wide collaborative efforts that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Social Justice Praxis Committee

The Social Justice Praxis Committee, composed of Silver School faculty, students, and staff, serves as a catalyst for development, implementation, and assessment of a comprehensive strategy and tactics of action to address social justice, equity, and inclusion at the Silver School. The Committee works to uphold the social justice mission of the School and the profession, recognizing that all need to share in the responsibility and accountability for creating an inclusive and equitable community.
