Activities

PACSI coordinates various annual events, lectures and courses on campus:

• Days Without Violence - Every April since 1996, we hold a number of events around the anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Conflict Resolution - Currently our main partner is Barbara Hildt of Youth Employment Services, an experienced youth trainer. We have also worked with various other programs, sometimes as part of Days Without Violence.
• Lectures and Discussions - In addition to Days Without Violence, we sponsor and co-sponsor several lectures and discussions on campus each semester.
• Curricula - We help promote curricula and courses in peace studies. For instance, there already exists the Peace and Conflict Studies undergraduate minor. We are also collaborating in the design of a new graduate certificate in Peace Studies.  For more information contact John MacDougall, 978-934-4303; or Joyce_Gibson, 978-934-4618.
• Printed Resources - Reference materials on peace and conflict are available in O’Leary Library room 500 (South campus).
