The School for Cultural & Social Transformation is based on the values of inclusivity, intersectionality and equity and we strive to promote these ideals in every aspect of our work. Recent changes with this platform have made it a space that increasingly opposes this foundation.
If you would like to stay informed on our work, you can find us through our website (transform.utah.edu), Instagram (@UofUTransform), Facebook (/UofUTransform) and LinkedIn (/UofUTransform).
In order to preserve the beneficial resources we have put together over the years, we will not delete our profile altogether, but moving forward, we will no longer actively engage with this platform.
