Social Justice

Dr. Landesberg-Boyle has a wealth of knowledge in social justice. She has led courses in multicultural education and was involved in numerous social justice experiential projects such as developing a Latino residential hall at The University of Massachusetts, teaching classes on antisemitism, racism, and multiculturalism.

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle was invited by Zeta Phi Beta, a historically black sorority, to be their faculty advisor, becoming the first white advisor to that organization.

Most recently Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle, upon hearing of the closer of the PACE Center for Girls, which would leave a number of at-risk girls no place to turn, including 9 which were sheduled to graduate in the spring, jumped into action. Working with MCSD Program Specialist Carol Eisenman and others worked to open a new program at FKCC which would provide a seemless transition for these Girls.

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle said, “We’re willing to do anything we can to help. We’ve been working very hard to connect the community to the college and the college to the community. This is just one more way we can accomplish that goal. It’s a way for us to make a difference in our community and the world.”

This program at FKCC, put 35 homeless students ages 18-24 into higher education.
