Adler University is an institution like no other. Our defining role is to educate leaders who, in whatever careers they pursue, will work for social justice.

We believe it is possible to create a healthy, just society—a society with a strong sense of community, where the rights of minorities are protected and equal opportunities are available for all. 

We also understand the work it takes to bring that vision to life. That's why we send our graduates into the world not just to be practitioners dealing with individual and community problems, but to address the systems and structures that are causing those problems—to create sustainable change.

Every student we graduate will hold multiple positions, in a variety of communities, affecting thousands of lives over the course of their career. That multiplier effect is part of our unique contribution—our strategy for advancing social justice in the world.
