Since 2019, the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship has presented graduating seniors with the Publicly Engaged Scholar award in recognition of research that advances peacework, social justice and/or global citizenship. Join us Thursday, 4/18/24, to hear from this year’s nominees, whose research spans a variety of concepts including the international legal system, abolition, accessible technology, and decolonization. Each nominee will present a five-minute Ignite talk about their thesis research to an audience of peers, faculty, and CPGC staff members & community partners.

This event is open to everyone, and is an opportunity to hear from students whose work has emerged from or in collaboration with the community to advance justice and sustainability. Read more about past winners and nominees here.
