The 4th Student Research Symposium, “Cultivating Peace: A Symposium for Violence Prevention,” will be held April 20-21, 2017 at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. It is being sponsored by the Virginia Tech Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention. Graduate and undergraduate students from regional, national, and international colleges are encouraged to submit proposals. Proposal guidelines are below.
I am pleased to be the keynote speaker. While at USIP, I had the opportunity to help support the center in its early days after the April 2007 tragedy.

I am conflict resolution educator, peacebuilding trainer and career coach. My professional experience has spanned the legal, think tank, international, quasi-government, and higher and secondary education sectors. I have taught at all higher education levels: community college, 4-year undergraduate (private, public, religious), graduate, and international. In 2003-2004 I was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar teaching at the University of Tartu in Estonia. From 2005 -2012 I was a senior program officer and senior manager at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington where I managed programs for colleges and universities and developed training for faculty and students. I work with all groups and educational institutions to support peacebuilding awareness.
