1THE POWER OF
WELCOME to “The Power of One”Thank you for attending the 5 th Annual A Call for Social Justice. On behalf of the entire UT PrincipalshipProgram, we are delighted that you are here. At The University of Texas at Austin (UT) PrincipalshipProgram, we don’t just talk about the importance of social justice – it is a pillar and founding principle of ourentire program. Social justice doesn’t happen by accident – it is taught, it is a choice, it is an awareness, it is anaction. It is reaching out to give all children opportunity and a reason to believe that they are special and canaccomplish whatever they desire.Although the concept of social justice is embedded across the curriculum, the UT Principalship Program deemsthis notion so important that the first two semesters of the program open and close with days devoted to opendialogue on social justice. We appreciate your presence and contributions today as we continue to explore themeaning, importance, and practice of social justice in our educational system.We also hope that each of you leaves with renewed interest in, hope for, and a commitment to implementingsocial justice daily in your own lives. Whether in the classroom or in your neighborhood, living the principlesof social justice makes our world a better place.If I can be of assistance to you in any way after our event today, please do not hesitate to contact me or thePrincipalship Program at info@utprincipalship.org.Thank you again for being here and making this annual event something special and memorable!Best wishes,Juanita GarciaDirector“Each time a person stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikesout against injustice, (s)he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each otherfrom a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current thatcan sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”— Robert F.
