We can't just keep talking about this. We have to do things
to get up closer to the world and what it needs.

The Oregon Center for Inquiry and Social Innovation is an innovative think-and-do-tank designed to stretch beyond current ways of thinking and doing. The center’s central premise is to give thought to action and action to thought. In our endeavors, the Oregon Center extends the work of the Graduate School of Education and Counseling in supporting thoughtful inquiry and innovative action for transforming social problems. Tantamount to our mission are platforms that help to focus our efforts. These include:

• Indigenous Ways of Knowing
• Immigration: Cultural Connections
• Collective Inquiry Initiative

These platforms are supported through the following programming:

• Missing Pieces and Whole Stories
• Open Spaces
• Faculty Think Groups
