Peace is both vibrant and personal, innovative and entrepreneurial, yet grounded in relationships and a proud North Carolina legacy. Peace has the kind of community where faculty and staff can know, encourage, and champion our students, and that combination is incredibly powerful.
I am also excited about how much opportunity is right outside Peace’s front door. Raleigh and the Triangle offer a dynamic ecosystem, and Peace is well-positioned to connect students even more intentionally to internships, mentors, and early career opportunities.
And I am excited about expanding access through Peace Online, which can open doors for adult learners, veterans, active-duty service members and their families, and working professionals who want a Peace education in a format that fits their lives. Peace Online also creates new partnership opportunities with emerging industries looking for an accessible, student-focused talent pipeline with a trusted educational partner.
Finally, I am energized by practical, high-impact ideas, such as creating a Peace “Career Passport” providing universal access to hundreds of industry certifications with curated pathways by major, so every student has a clear bridge between learning and life after graduation.
