More Info...
PEACE DAY's have reached college campuses across Michigan since 2006. The intention of the yearly events has been to encourage further connection, tolerance and acceptance of diversity in all life aspects ranging from race to color to age to gender to religion. Pro-peace in nature, they look to create a welcoming atmosphere to provide an excellent opportunity for people from different backgrounds to network with each other. It is not a panacea by any means to achieving greater equality. It is though one of many programs we as a society will have to consider to closing the cultural injustice gap.

Vision:
Create a day that provides an excellent opportunity for people from different backgrounds to connect and network with each other, by highlighting an appreciation for diversity, by promoting a greater respect and awareness of diversity, and by addressing issues of acceptance, peace, love and unity, that, in turn, will help serve as a continued step toward sustaining a lasting change across our campus and community.
