SUNY Case Awards (2023)

With experience in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belongingness, Dr. Colton Nguyen coined Strategic Social Leadership as the framework organizations must implement to create real systemic change. As a nonprofit founder, human rights activist and qualitative researcher, Colton has dedicated his life to serving historically under-represented communities.

After completing his Masters from Georgetown University in 2020, Colton founded his first nonprofit. Through grassroots organizing and community-centered leadership, Colton launched The Social Strategy Leadership Institute to empower other emerging leaders to be the Social Justice change leaders of the future.

"Social Strategy Leadership Theory is more than being a good person, it's about intentionally making interventions to provide a culture of equity and empowerment. "
