Tulane prepares students to become agents of social change

The Changemaker Institute (CI), housed at the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking, is creating a more streamlined experience for students by offering two new paths: the Changemaker Institute, which helps students focus their interest in changemaking, and the CI Plus (CI+ ) Social Venture Accelerator, which develops students’ social entrepreneurial ideas.

The goal is to cultivate a network of Tulane students who will use their skills, expertise, talents and power in a way that creates positive social change and affirms the humanity of all people. Those students are known as “changemakers.”

“At Taylor, we define changemakers as people who use their skills … in a way that creates positive social change.”

— Julia Lang, program manager of the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking
