Culture of Peace PSU welcomes new members!

Greetings to all,

We are happy to announce that new members have joined our steering committee at Plymouth State University. Students Lindsay Harrington and Bryan Funk, peace and justice studies minors, have come on board. In addition, the committee is joined also by Professor James Whiting, of the Languages and Linguistics Department.

Meanwhile, plans are afoot to attend the now-annual conference, this year on 27 March and held at UNH-Manchester. Feel free to email one of us (see members list at right) for details if you are not already 'in the know' -- and better yet, if you're a faculty member, and you've registered, bring a student!
