“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny."
Student Travel Seminars
Each spring semester, Professor Vince Kavaloski takes his Philosophy of Peace students (10-12 students) to either Washington, D.C. for a World Parliament simulation or to New York City to the United Nations. Students meet with scholars and activists involved in global peace-making.
Through this travel seminar, two of our students won internships in Washington, D.C. with Citizens for Global Solutions (formerly the World Federalist Association). Sara Bodenberg is now working full-time with that organization.
In addition, three of our students won the World Federalist "Distinguished Student Peacemaker" award ($1,000). One of them was sent to London (in 2002) to the International World Federalist Conference.
This fall, Kavaloski's "Philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr." seminar will be traveling to Memphis to tour the National Civil Rights Museum and participate in a conference on "Gandhian Nonviolence."
