The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship grew out of faculty and student interests that emerged in the late 1990s. Since then, the Center has developed and expanded into a flourishing nexus of social responsibility, civic engagement, and global peace work, both on campus and in the greater community.

2018 Study Abroad photo contest first place winner in the Ford Faces category: Gabriel Halperin-Goldstein '19, "Reaching New Heights", taken in the Atacama Desert, Chile.
