Academic Communities
As an incoming Bloodhound, we know that John Jay is the right fit for you because you care about a variety of justice issues. Your first step in becoming Advocates for Justice is to select an Academic Community and a First Year Seminar at your Advisement session.
What are the Academic Communities?
Each Academic Community captures a broad, initial interest and blends a wide range of disciplines— social sciences, sciences, humanities, and creative fields—to help you build foundational skills, discover new perspectives, and prepare for a range of academic and career fields. Regardless of which one you join, you’ll build the skills to think deeply, express yourself clearly, and make an impact in the world around you.
Across every Community, you’ll explore justice through storytelling, understand people and systems through culture, tackle scientific challenges with ethical awareness, and lead with empathy and creativity. And whether you're working with data or with people, your ideas and voice will shape the experience.
