Why Peace and Global Studies?

Le Moyne College’s commitment to issues of global studies runs deep. Not only is this in keeping with the Jesuit tradition of intellectual rigor in a world context noted by Fr. General Hans-Kolvenbach, but is a reflection of the diverse community of scholar-teachers that make-up the Le Moyne faculty. The development of the center in tandem with the major will work to create and sustain a viable and exciting academic program that will increasingly play a part in the collegiate experience of all of our students. Finally, the program and the major will help prepare young people to be productive and ethical global citizens in an ever-smaller world.
