Holmes-Sullivan Social Change Grant

Both Dr. Robin Holmes-Sullivan and Kathy Holmes-Sullivan (LCSW) have graciously provided Lewis & Clark students with a grant to assist them in attending the Center for Social Change’s yearly Immersion Trip program. This grant was started in an effort to helps students harness their passions for social justice and their desires for being of service to others, while building the identity of what  a Lewis & Clark student represents: a person who serves their community, a person with strong beliefs in equity and inclusion, and a person willing to bring about positive social change for the world. 

 

This award was created to encourage Lewis & Clark students to bring about positive social change and social justice to their local, regional, national and international communities.

Dr. Holmes-Sullivan states that “By supporting our student’s dreams and spirit to make this world a better place, we encourage all students to embrace the values of service, equity, and justice in all that they do in both their belief systems and also their actions while attending Lewis & Clark.”
