Starr Center for Peace & Justice
The Lawrence D. Starr Center for Peace and Justice in our Global Society is a professional academic organization dedicated to the idea of promoting international awareness – in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. In keeping with the ecumenical spirit of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, the Starr Center is equally motivated by the idea of championing the causes of community, respect, justice, and excellence. We are committed to the promotion of attitudes, policies, and practices that foster freedom, peace, justice, inclusion, service, and human rights.
Our Vision
For our students, we endeavor to offer a variety of experiences pertaining to the international environment: study-abroad opportunities, international-travel experiences, foreign-language training, globally focused internships, contests, lectures, presentations, conferences, and other related programs that better inform and connect University of Saint Mary students with the wider global community.
Feel free to contact us at the Starr Center. We are more than open to hearing your feedback about our services to our local and global communities at large.
