Join us for a special session led by the Dean Darren Kew of the Kroc School as we explore the complex role of religion in shaping peace and conflict.

Together, we’ll reflect on how religious ideologies are deeply embedded in political, economic, and cultural life—not separate from them as often assumed. In addition to examining the conflicts themselves, we also hope to explore the religious dimensions of how these conflicts impact civic life in affected communities.

Don’t miss out! April 15th from 3 to 5 pm at the Dean’s Conference Room in Kroc School building.

Food For Thought” is back this upcoming Thursday, March 31st from 12-1 PM! Come to the Ideation Station and engage in an important conversation on how religious diversity shapes the peacebuilding process.

Free snacks + insightful discussions = a great lunch hour!

Join us on Monday for KGSA’s Movie Night! 🍿🎬

We’ll be screening “Human”, a thought-provoking film that delves into the complexities of the human experience—vital for us as peace students to understand the forces shaping conflict and peace in the world today.

Or if you just want to hang out with friends and enjoy some snacks, that’ll do as well 🤗

See you Monday night!
