"This eye-opening experience allowed me to gain new perspectives from students and faculty from all over the nation on community engagement in manners that promotes peace, justice, and conflict transformation. Because of this, I not only have a better understanding of peace studies and justice in an academic environment, but I have also gained a better understanding of my own civic identity." - Gabby Martin
