The Center’s objectives are:

• To institutionalize and strengthen the peace education thrust of Miriam College through faculty training, curriculum development and student development programs;
• To help promote the culture of peace in the larger society by sharing Miriam College’s inspiration, knowledge and experience with other groups and educational institutions, including those that are underserved;
