Welcome Back, SCJ Students!

We are delighted to extend our warmest greetings and heartfelt welcome to each of you as we begin a new semester. Whether you are returning to continue your studies or beginning your journey with us, we commend your commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of justice. This year presents new opportunities to deepen your understanding of the complex systems that shape our communities, to engage in meaningful dialogue, and to contribute to research and practice that uphold the values of equity, accountability, and public service. Our faculty and staff are here to support your academic success and professional development every step of the way.

To assist with your success this semester, here are a few tips and resources available:
