CJS is organized around three goals –<br />

economic justice and environmental sustainability<br />

Practice: the Center provides the <strong>College</strong> community, students, faculty and staff, opportunities to<br />

conduct research about and to work on projects for justice and sustainability<br />

Partner: the Center maintains a presence beyond the campus that includes alumni, friends, and<br />

partners<br />

lens of justice about social, economic, and environmental systems and making a contribution to the common<br />

good. For more information see www.jewell.edu/cjs/ or contact the CJS Director, Dr. Andy Pratt at<br />
