Abstract

In this Forum commentary, I discuss my experience as a faculty member starting a community-based non-profit organization, Animal Advocates of Greater Lafayette. Since founding the organization in 2019, I have moved between the roles of faculty and organization president, finding ways to create new pedagogical spaces that lead to community-based social change. I suggest that establishing non-profit organizations are one avenue for faculty community engagement to address social injustices and inequities.
