It is designed to bring together people, ideas, and resources around the themes of peacemaking, diversity, and social change. The bulk of the program will be provided by students actively engaged in intellectual, academic, and activist endeavors related to these themes.
Students coordinate and participate in panels, round tables, and workshops throughout the day.
American University, Catholic University, Georgetown University, George Washington University and Trinity College have all hosted the conference during this period, and student response to this unique opportunity to present their work before their peers has been enthusiastic. While student contributions will constitute the core of our scheduled program, we would like to invite your organization to attend the conference and set up a table in order to meet with students and disseminate information about your ongoing activities and programs. Students in the past have reported this to be an important part of their total experience. As many of these students are committed to work in social justice and peace, you may also wish to discuss with them opportunities for internships and career development. It is, of course, best if a representative from your organization can be present for all or part of the day, but we can also arrange for materials to be displayed on a table.
