At the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, we are committed to the profound dignity of every human life. And we understand that radical love is required to move beyond the injustices and violences of the present era. Since October 7, the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship has offered events that aim to advance three things on campus and beyond:
- See the full humanity of one another.
- Hold communities together in difficult conversations on this campus.
- Deepen understanding on this campus.
