A Commitment to partnership

Rationale is committed to partnership. This partnership takes many forms, but above all it is about equitable access to information, participation, and critique. Our work is planned, discussed, and implemented collaboratively across student and community stakeholders and we consider these conversations to be the very foundation of the organization.


As part of this commitment, we are currently translating our website into Acholi (Luo). Stay tuned!
