Peace and Conflict Certificate


Today was one of the best days, weather-wise, we've had in a long time- Boulder reached temperatures in the low seventies today! It was amazing to get to walk around campus and bask in the sunshine after a few months of dreary cold.

I stopped by the business building for a brief presentation on another cerficate you can earn at CU- this one based on peace/conflict studies. It seemed to be a really interesting subject, and definitely a good consideration if you're planning on going into human resources management. The program has been around since the 60's in Boulder, but seems to be a bit of a hidden jem.

Almost 40% of students who earn this certificate go on to serve in the Peace Corps, which I found really interesting- it's definitely a very internationally minded program. It's also extremely flexible within your major- there's only 3 required courses! Other than that it's up to you.

For more information and to get signed up, check out this website, or you can email the program director Stanley Deetz at stanle.deetz@colorado.edu.
