The Sudreau Global Justice Institute invites the Pepperdine community to Global Justice Week, an event designed for undergraduate, law, and other graduate students interested in exploring opportunities to advance the cause of justice around the world.

 

Global Justice Week 2025: The Joy of Justice

Register to attend Global Justice Week’s focal event, Carnival for a Cause: A Night of Joy and Impact with Bob Goff and the Sudreau Global Justice Institute on Tuesday, March 18. This launch event will include a free In-N-Out truck, carnival games, and a dunk-your-professor dunk tank. It will also include a worship service led by Waves Worship and a message from New York Times best-selling author Bob Goff. 

Throughout the week, attendees can engage with other prominent leaders from the global justice space, such as International Justice Mission founder Gary Haugen, participate in an “Activation Day” service project that directly benefits survivors of human trafficking, and attend academic sessions dedicated to the topic of human rights and the rule of law in the developing world.

Attendees of both Carnival for a Cause on Tuesday, March 18, and Activation Day on Wednesday, March 19, will be entered into a sweepstakes for an all-expense-paid trip to serve in Uganda with the Sudreau Global Justice Institute.
