Did you miss our first Virtual Open House? We had so much fun that we want to do it again on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:00pm EST. Attend this live virtual event for a tour of Grebel's residence life and academic programs, online! Register here to receive your webinar link.
Peace and Conflict Studies graduate Eric Boyton will be coming to Conrad Grebel to do a lunchtime talk with interested students. He is currently pursuing a career in policing and will be offering insights on how PACS has been useful to him in this field.
This will be an event joint with Legal Studies and a great chance to network with other students as well as learn about the ways that PACS can be used in the workplace beyond university.
Feel free to bring a lunch!
Mark Yantzi is a mediator working with Correctional Services Canada. He is also the former Executive Director of Community Justice Initiatives.
Mark will reflect on the promises and limitations of restorative justice in relation to the traditional justice system. The title of his talk is "(REGINA vs. John Doe) versus (John Doe meets Restorative Justice)."
This talk is open to both graduate and undergraduate students from the MPACS and PACS programs.
Students and professors will come together for free pizza and conversation on October 29th. This is a great chance for students to get to know their professors in a non-classroom setting and build connections that can go a long way towards their future studies and careers.
Peace and Conflict Studies will be holding an information session for students interested in doing their Master's in Peace and Conflict Studies (MPACS) here at Conrad Grebel. There will be a pizza dinner provided, a brief overview of the program by Rebecca Steinmann, Graduate Studies Coordinator, reflections by three current MPACS students, Rachel Reist, Kelly Brown and Patty Dorsey, and time for Q&A . The deadline for applying to the MPACS program is February 1st, so this is the time to start thinking about it!
Come join a presentation, discussion and fundraiser on responses to the violent crisis in Syria. Bruce Guenther, Director of Disaster Response for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) - Canada, and a Syrian activist skyping in from Homs, Syria, will be speaking about the conflict and relief efforts.
