Our vision
Operating within the College’s Mission and Heritage Division, the Peace and Justice Center cultivates awareness, compassion, and commitment to justice and the building of sustainable peace. We are informed and hopeful realists who champion human dignity and partner for change, promoting hope through action.
Our Values
Peacebuilding
We follow in the footsteps of Norbert of Xanten, who was known for his ability to bring peace between divided parties. Our Norbertine heritage guides us toward a primary emphasis on conflict transformation and reconciliation. We engage in the study and practice of peacebuilding, partnering with all academic disciplines in our work toward a sustainable peace.
Common Good
Catholic social teaching, with its emphasis on the sacred dignity of all persons, inspires us to be advocates for the common good both locally and globally. Our work helps others become informed about, and committed to, transformative action in the world.
Education
Informed action depends on understanding. Our curricular and co-curricular programs provide resources and opportunities for the St. Norbert College community and others to discuss, understand and partner for change in some of the most complex issues of our time.
Responsibility
We recognize the urgent need for improving our world. We cannot be complacent: Peacebuilding is not someone else’s work but the individual responsibility of each one of us. At the Peace and Justice Center we offer resources for those who seek to be agents for positive change, engaging issues with clarity and charity.
