About the Initiative
Sparked by a gift from Idaho’s longtime human rights leader, Marilyn Shuler, to Boise State’s School of Public Service in 2017, the Initiative aims to offer several program offerings.
Academic program
The human rights certificate program in human rights education and advocacy that will complement any academic major, so that students might integrate the advancement of human rights into their vocations and avocations.
Open learning opportunities
Opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and community members to learn about human rights issues and advocacy outside of the normal classroom through teach-ins, panel discussions, speakers, and events.
Collaboration
Collaborative opportunities and resources for people and groups doing human rights work on campus and in the community- the Shuler Initiative seeks to complement rather than compete with other groups doing good work on human rights.
Understand rights, advocate change
