Our Mission

The Scarlet Forum is a student-led organization that is dedicated to amplifying each other’s voices, fostering meaningful group discussion, and advocating for change through journalism. We connect with individuals who are passionate about public policy, who want to create a social impact, and who are storytelling through their research.

By hosting club meetings and having our writers publish in the academic journal, we strive to provide a space where individuals’ ideas can be shared with the Executive Board's permission. Our goal is to encourage students to lead conversations in group settings, serve others, and create a meaningful impact outside of the classroom.

“Through dialogue, service, and research, we aim to challenge perspectives, amplify underrepresented voices, and turn awareness into change. The Scarlet Forum is a community of students committed to learning, advocating, and actively working toward a more equitable society.”
