Together we will explore questions about and aspirations for peace and human dignity through each of our lives, our work, our services as educators and participants in the Augusta University community and in academia.
Our goal through this Peace Studies group is to plant and grow the seeds of peace within ourselves and among ourselves, intentionally cultivating our shared humanity – personal dignity, respect, and solidarity – and creating value in our lives.

This Peace Studies group is free and open to the Augusta University community!
"What we need most is to restore and revive our humanity. We must create a society where people can live with dignity, a society where people can live in peace and happiness. People are tired of games played for power and profit. People are tired of hatred and conflict. They want to live with more wisdom and confidence, and in peace. It may seem like a long and distant path, but I am convinced that the 21st century must see a movement to sow the seeds of peace, happiness and trust in every person's heart. The seeds of a truly humane way of life. I am convinced this is the only path."
