Editorial: We are responsible for our generation’s legacy, social change

We know the semester is quickly drawing to a close, but it's never too late to get involved with the IUP and Indiana communities. Social change is frequently bandied about without much more than a vague definition of changing our cur­rent situation for the better.

One group's idea of making improvements for a better future may be another's hindrance or source of oppression — look no further than the lawsuit that's been threatened by students against the university. And much like the difficulty in defining what is "truly best for everyone," the methods by which we enact social change are varied and have the potential to be in conflict with each other. These methods can also be vague and poorly defined, and one interested in becoming involved can run the risk of merely talking about what can be done rather than being proactive about whatever situation he or she would like to change.

There are, of course, groups on campus with which you can get involved. Several are mentioned on page 7 in the article about the Social Change Summit held Saturday.
