Open House: Oakes Collaborations

Explore Our New Collaborative Spaces in Oakes College!

We’re excited to welcome you to the newly expanded spaces in the Oakes Academic Building, now home to a vibrant community of Social Sciences research centers and programs. Connect with colleagues from the Institute for Social Transformation, the Center for Labor and Community, the Right Livelihood Center, Campus + Community, the Center for Economic Justice & Action, and the Science & Justice Research Center. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about Oakes College and the CARA program (Community-based Action, Research, and Advocacy).

Stop by to meet the teams, discover their work, and tour our new conference rooms and collaborative spaces.

Oakes College Mission: Since its founding in 1972, Oakes College has been committed to intellectual, academic and personal inquiry rooted in the possibility of effecting positive social and political change. As a multi-ethnic community, we provoke the exchange of cross-cultural perspectives. Our efforts to understand, accept and celebrate human diversity are a source of exceptional strength. Through this committed inquiry, we raise often unaddressed issues that the university community must examine.

Parking: There should be plenty of parking available in lots 160, 161, 162, or the West Remote parking lot (permits required).

Hosted by: Institute for Social Transformation, Center for Economic Justice and Action, Center for Labor and Community, Right Livelihood Center, Oakes CARA Program, and Oakes College.
