Name any current major conflict in the world, domestic or international, and there is likely at least one graduate of Eastern Mennonite University’s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP) on location.
As of September 2019, some 668 individuals – including 86 Fulbright scholars – have received a graduate certificate and/or MA degree from the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. Hundreds more have benefited from trainings, webinars and workshops.
This year, CJP celebrates 25 years of peacebuilding impact. Our celebration begins with this magazine and a kickoff TenTalks event at this month’s Homecoming and Family Weekend featuring John Sharp, Tammy Krause MA ’99, and Darsheel Kaur MA ’17.
Join us for our anniversary celebration June 5-7, 2020. Visit the anniversary website for more details. Follow CJP on Facebook, too.
Throughout the year, guest bloggers will “Celebrate, Reflect and Dream” with us. [Here’s the first blog post!]
We want to hear your thoughts, too. Thousands of people have intersected with CJP over the years, and each of you has contributed to the work of making the world more just and more peaceful.
