The Committee for a Culture of Peace and Social Justice in New Hampshire recently kicked off its new season for the academic year. We have great plans for growing programs, organizing our mission, and celebrating our students.
We began with marking an important occasion in the year of the United Nations -- the International Day of Peace, held annually on 21 September. At our campus, students in several organizations distributed bookmarks commemorating the day, and encouraging fellow PSU community members to serve our world by playing Free Rice. Free Rice is an online game wherein players answer vocabulary questions; each correctly answered question wins 10 grains of rice for the world's hungry, donated via the World Food Programme. An incorrectly answered question results in an easier question. Interested parties should visit http://www.freerice.org -- but let the player beware: rice-giving is addictive.
Our Committee has also been working with the on-campus Peace & Justice Studies minor to fuse our efforts, and provide added support to new academic initiatives. Stay tuned, and feel free to follow this blog! (how-to instructions at right).
