Social Change
Walden University defines positive social change  as a deliberate process of creating and applying ideas, strategies, and  actions to promote the worth, dignity, and development of individuals,  communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, and societies.  Positive social change results in the improvement of human and social  conditions.
This definition of positive social change provides an intellectually  comprehensive and socially constructive foundation for the programs,  research, professional activities, and products created by the Walden  academic community.
In addition, Walden supports positive social change through the  development of principled, knowledgeable, and ethical  scholar-practitioners, who are and will become civic and professional  role models by advancing the betterment of society.
