Our Mission

The chief cultural mission of the Center is to improve our ability to have critical conversations about social justice issues as a diverse and multi-faceted community. We want to encourage civil discourse and make it easier and more available.

“Historically, our socially-conscious efforts have primarily occurred through our partnerships with fellow professional development organizations. With the creation of the Center, we take a small but important step toward the type of bold, sustained action required to successfully address inequity and achieve true social justice.”

Research

Through the Center, Prospanica’s purpose will expand to provide research-driven dialogue that will facilitate conversations with people across the political spectrum, specifically among those at the intersection of business and education.

Dialogue

We also want to help answer the question: how do we navigate tense conversations when we don’t all agree and still move forward in unity? We want to build tolerance from a Hispanic/Latino/Latinx perspective, even as we address feelings of resentment and resist the temptation to disengage from those who view things differently.

Training

Once we are equipped with credible and academically-based learnings, we will invest in developing a curriculum that will include webinars and workshops, self-study and a series of ongoing social justice conversations that will allow us to frame the conversation in an inclusive and honest way.
