The Creative Justice Awards are an opportunity to recognize faculty, staff and students within the College of Fine and Applied Arts who embody creative justice on campus and beyond. What is creative justice, you ask? Creative justice is a way of being that honors a desire to perform meaningful actions that ripple out into the world as expressions of beauty that uphold equality and integrity between living entities, including human-human relationships and human-nature relationships. People nominated for the CJI Awards exude passion in their work, demonstrated by ideas, initiatives, and/or products they produce that have a tangible, positive impact on their communities. Initiatives need not be those endorsed by the institution, or by another official entity to be considered.
