Institute for Universal Rights, Health & Justice
Realizing the need for greater change, in 2024, we launched the Institute for Universal Rights, Health & Justice to expand and support a workforce that can better advance the rights, health, and wellbeing of people, animals, and the planet through education and outreach, research and innovation, and leadership and advocacy.
Our goal is to expand and support a workforce equipped to address today and tomorrow’s complex and interlinked challenges.
