The School of Peace and Conflict Studies originated at Kent State as a response to May 4. Today it’s central in Kent State’s global presence. We travel to Rwanda, where Kent State convened a global peace education conference and, through the Kigali Summer Institute, immerses students in peace building centered on reconciliation, in a place that experienced the unimaginable 1994 genocide. 

Later, it’s off to Brazil, where peace education is within the core of an innovative program with Kent State’s partner university in Curitiba.  

And then, Kent State expands its presence in Southeast Asia through education partnership in Cambodia.
