The Connie Hogarth Center for Social Action

The Manhattanville College Departments of Sociology and Political Science work closely with the Connie Hogarth Center for Social Action, which is located in the Gallery of Founder’s Hall.

The Center’s mission is to help the next generation of college-educated activists acquire, in the course of their undergraduate training, the practical skills and knowledge necessary for work in some field of social change. Recently retired after 23 years as Executive Director of the Westchester People’s Action Coalition (WESPAC), Connie Hogarth is recognized throughout the metropolitan area and the nation as a leading activist in various struggles for peace and justice.

The Center runs a lecture series and a mentoring program, supports student research and publishes a student-edited journal devoted to social change, helps locate internships and employment, and runs workshops in public speaking, the use of computers, fund raising, media access and organizing.
