Dorothy Stang Center
The Dorothy Stang Center for Social Justice and Community Engagement (DSC) was established on the NDNU campus in honor of the work of Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN, who was murdered in Brazil due to her efforts to aid the poor farmers and the environment in that country. The Center works to increase awareness around the issues of social and environmental justice, as well as encourage dialogue and activism in these areas. Members of the NDNU and the larger community can work with the DSC to create positive social change, and come to a greater understanding of the issues that affect the community.

Famous quotes containing the word center:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
