The Gandhi Center 20th Anniversary Celebration begins on Monday, September 22nd with the 4th annual JUSTPEACE program in celebration of the International Day of Peace on September 21.

The theme for JUSTPEACE 2025 is "Justice & Migration." The Beitzel Symposium September 24 will feature presentations from scholars and practitioners in the community, and include a visit to the Grace Street Gallery in Duke Hall to view the interactive and participatory Hostile Terrain 94 exhibit.

The Hostile Terrain 94 exhibit was made possible by the generous support of various units across the university, including: JMU Libraries, Office of Creative Propulsion, Community Engagement & Volunteer Center, Latin American, Latinx and Caribbean Studies, and the Departments of Justice Studies, Sociology and Anthropology, Political Science, and World Languages & Cultures. Special thanks to the School of Art, Design and Art History and the Office of Creative Propulsion for use of space to host the exhibit.

These events are free to attend for all faculty, staff, and students. Stop by during our open house to find out more, check out our free library, and grab some food.

The center will also host an invite-only banquet dinner and reception on Thursday, September 25. Please contact Director Taimi Castle for more information.
