High-Impact Student Experiences & Education Projects / Research Studies

The Program on Conflict and Development focuses on providing students with high-impact experiences to arm them with skills and experience they will need as future professionals in global conflict and development. Students are our greatest asset, and perhaps our greatest hope as we work to expand our network of scholars and alleviate conflict around the world. Click here to learn more about our students. Through our Education Projects and Research Studies, ConDev supports research on educational topics as well as extension programs to educate the peacemakers of tomorrow.
