Student Profiles

Meet past students and hear, in their own words, what participating in The Institute’s Peacebuilding Across the Disciplines meant to them:

 

Isaias Guerrero

“The Indianapolis Peace Institute program was really a window that taught me about community and made me fall in love with helping my people and all people.&rdquo


Jackie Schwenk

“I met so many extremely awesome and inspiring people through the Indianapolis Peace Institute that there are too many to list here – at my internship, at the house, at events."


Jason Shenk

“Learning about traditions of peacemaking in the Muslim faith at Earlham College reminded me in many ways – commitment to justice, emphasis on day-to-day actions – of the Mennonite faith in which I was raised."


Jessica Hoover

"Through the peacebuilding program, I was able to make important connections between my internship experience, my personal behavioral choices, and my future career goals."


Marina Gorsuch

“The Institute gives students a great opportunity to join a peacebuilding organization and learn how they can cause change.”


Taryn Kincaid

“I was able to recognize my strengths, challenge my boundaries, grow in confidence and apply myself. I learned how to use my strengths and voice productively in the pursuit of peace and justice.”
