Social justice can take on different forms. Strayer University supports students in its Strayer University Fellows program in making a positive impact in their communities.

Philadelphia barber Desmond Kirton is doing just that by running a barber skills program at Murrell Dobbins Career and Technical High School, a vocational school located in the West Lehigh neighborhood of North Philadelphia.

He joins 83 other students from across the country who have earned the distinction of a Strayer University Fellow for Justice and received a full-tuition scholarship for a Strayer University bachelor’s degree program in accounting, business administration, criminal justice, or information technology. He is the first graduate under the Strayer Fellows for Justice Scholarship program.

Watch Desmond’s story below.
