Seattle University’s Center of Social Transformation and Leadership Advisory Board provides its members with a unique opportunity to: 

  • Contribute to the success of the Center and Seattle University’s College of Education
  • Make a positive impact on education
  • Serve your community
  • Expand your network and meet people with similar interests 

The primary purpose of the CSTL Advisory Board is to keep track of the big picture of the Center, address issues of concern, and develop strategies to address these concerns. It is essential to promote voice at the community level and provide a setting for its constituencies' interests to be addressed. As the Center builds its strategic outreach, it will develop and seek grants from a broad constituency and work to benefit all who desire to lead social transformation and make community impact, regardless of their location or calling.
