Who We Are
Northwestern University Community for Human Rights (NUCHR) is a group of advocates for global human rights on Northwestern University’s campus.
Through informed dialogue, weekly meetings, educational excursions, social events, and year-round programming, we bridge connections between undergraduates and international discussions on current human rights issues. Our group is oriented to assist students in grappling with complex histories and inequities in order to develop deep critical thinking abilities and to mobilize inspired action.
Each spring, NUCHR explores a distinct topic in the field of human rights while hosting a human rights conference for students across the nation. Past topics have focused on forced migration, torture, corporate social responsibility, humanitarian aid, urban slums, food security, and art as activism. For more details on our past topics, refer to our Past Conferences page.
We are an inclusive community with an open membership policy. Although we typically recruit new members each fall, we still welcome new members year-round. Join us here!

NUCHR is a proud student group affiliate of the Buffett Institute for Global Studies.
