The purpose of the Sociology Club is to encourage people to <strong>educate themselves and others about sociological issues within society<\/strong> and offer students ways in which to apply their sociological imagination to the benefit of others, both on and off campus. We invite all majors\u2014and students and community members of all interests\u2014to join us in creating awareness about inequalities in our local and global communities. Every year, we host the annual &#8220;Stratified Streets: A Visual Tour of Sociology&#8221; trip and Holidays Around the World program, participate in the Institute for Global Understanding&#8217;s Global Understanding Convention, and fundraise for a charitable organization.
