STUDENT AND ALUMNI DINNER

Beginning in 2014 with the vision and generous spirit of a group of Peace and Justice alumni, the Center began hosting an annual dinner to bring together current and former students. Alumni share experiences, offer networking opportunities, and reflect on how they have integrated peace and justice into their careers, their families and their lives. With each dinner, we grow our community of truly amazing individuals and we leave reinvigorated to take on the urgent and lifegiving work of advocating for a just and peaceful world.

  

The Center often records their events, making them accessible to the wider community. You can watch them on YouTube.
