HIVE (Hub for Inclusive Visionary Engagement) is an area within the Social Justice Collaborative.
We collaborate with students, staff, faculty, and community members to reimagine and shift inter-community and institutional resources to support material needs, inclusion and belonging, learning opportunities, and creative expression.
Our programs are rooted in systems navigation, affirming identity, and exploring visionary futures that lead to equity in arts, communication, and higher education.
