PEACE Center
This PEACE Center serves as a hub where students can access various services and programs
to develop their leadership skills.
Welcome to the PEACE Center! Throughout the year, the PEACE Center staff organizes
vibrant programming events and exciting outings to honor and celebrate cultural heritage
months, including but not limited to Black History Month, Pride Month, and Women’s
History Month. From guest speaker sessions addressing impactful topics to documentary
screenings that spark meaningful discussions, we aim to create opportunities for engagement
and learning about important global issues.
Be sure to visit our PEACE Center, located in Room 1140 in the main building. Don’t
miss our “Peaceful Tuesdays,” held on the first Tuesday of every month. From 11 AM
to 2 PM, enjoy a serene atmosphere with calming meditation music and complimentary
hot tea—the perfect way to recharge and refocus for the week ahead.

Students are exposed to opportunities to enhance their academic growth and personal development through peer-led initiatives, programs, and outings, including community events, cultural heritage celebrations, cultural commencements such as the Lavender graduation ceremony for LGBTQIA+ students, and networking workshops.

- Have the opportunity to increase their sense of community and pride within the PSC campus.
- Explore the different dimensions of their self and identity.
- Increase their knowledge and connection to resources on campus that can help them improve academically and excel as students.
- Enhance their leadership skills.
- Gain experience with practicing respectful ways of interacting and building community with people who are from different backgrounds than their own as they prepare for their future roles in their fields and in the world.

Introducing our Food Pantry!
We are excited to open our very first food pantry to support our students. This initiative
allows students to virtually shop from a list of available items. Our strategic setup
will allow us to efficiently serve as many as possible, while maintaining fairness
and accessibility for all students. More Information.
Partnerships With One Million Degrees
One Million Degrees offers support and up to $1000 in stipends to participants. In our new partnership with OMD, we assign 60 students to PEACE Center coordinators for personalized support and monthly programs tailored to meet their needs. The students attend information and Scholar Intake Sessions to establish connections and build plans for success before getting paired with an OMD Coach who will work with them throughout the year.
"I am confident that working with these exceptional OMD scholars will lead to continued
success.”
