The Marquette University Center for Peacemaking empowers the university and the wider community to explore together the necessary skills to become informed, spiritually-centered, nonviolent peacemakers. Rooted in the Ignatian charism, the center fosters an awakening to the holistic relationship of scholarship, spirituality, nonviolent living, and the active struggle for peace and justice.

You're invited to the Spring Social on Thursday, May 9.
The Center for Peacemaking continues to be a wellspring of work for peace and nonviolence at Marquette. We've sent students across the globe to work with organizations striving to build peace. We've supported faculty research and teaching on on nonviolence. We've established a major in Peace Studies and supported our alumni as they work to transform communities.
Gather with friends, alums, and faculty for festivities and libations. Learn about the recent work of the Center for Peacemkaing and the continuation of past projects.
The Center operates entirely on gifts given by private donors. We can only continue to do what we do - and so much more - with support from our friends old and new. By attending you are advancing the work of the Center.
Please contact the Center for Peacemaking to order your tickets via email or by calling 414.288.8444.
We hope to see you on May 9!

The staff thanks Simon and wishes him well!
