Advancing peace, justice & comprehension

We're committed to social consciousness 和 public service, a commitment that carries over into our research efforts. Our faculty 和 students perform research funded by the Carnegie Corporation to explore nonviolent action in violent settings, with particular focus on non-state actors 和 non-violent strategies as drivers of security.

We also believe that when the most vulnerable members of a population are cared for 和 protected, society as a whole benefits. Through our partnership with Denver Public 学校 for the Spotlight on Success program, we work to find methods to end the school-to-prison pipeline. Globally or locally, we strive to give our students the opportunity to better their world.
