Human Rights Institute
The Human Rights Institute (HRI) at Kean University educates, conducts research and raises awareness and consciousness among students, faculty, the general public, and decision-makers in government. It pursues its mission through curricular offerings, workshops, student organizations, and major symposia and conferences on human rights issues.
The HRI is housed in a new addition to the Nancy Thompson Library. This facility provides the Institute with seminar rooms, offices, a conference center and state-of-the-art gallery that is used to highlight issues, artwork, films, and publications related to human rights violations and victories around the world.
