“The values that define CGU—equity, diversity, social justice, and a deep commitment to education—aren’t just ideas on paper. They show up in what we teach, how we teach it, and the questions our students and faculty choose to explore. Over time, that shapes graduates who go on to lead classrooms, join faculties, and step into meaningful leadership roles across education. And when that happens, we all feel the impact—through stronger schools and stronger communities.”

Community-engaged education is rooted in building bridges between schools and communities, strengthening connections that support learning, collaboration, and shared progress. By linking academia and activism, this approach explores how educators and community partners can work together for mutual benefit and meaningful impact. The Master of Arts program in Community-Engaged Education & Social Change prepares educators to build and sustain these community bridges while understanding the critical intersections of learning, teaching, and local community. Through this work, graduates are equipped to foster partnerships that advance equity, civic engagement, and lasting social change.

The Allies of Dreamers program—the first of its kind in the nation—equips K–12 educators and administrators, higher education student affairs professionals, and community leaders with the historical context, theoretical foundations, and practical knowledge needed to effectively mentor and advocate for Dreamers and other undocumented students. Through this training, participants learn how to be an ally—offering informed support, mentorship, and advocacy for undocumented youth. Responding to a growing demand for trained allies, the program prepares participants to ensure undocumented students are protected, fully included in K–12 schools, and supported as they access college and successfully transition to further study and the workforce.
