| description | The aim of this study was to examine social justice activities of university and college counseling centers.
Seventy center directors provided data on their centers’ commitment to social justice activities, the
existence and type of prevention services offered, and other indications of social justice efforts. Findings
revealed that a vast majority of centers were committed to and engaged in a variety of social justice-related
activities, regardless of their staff composition. Size of university was a significant predictor of only selfrated
commitment to social justice. |
