USD Fellows Break Barriers Near the Border

Over the years, USD, and particularly the Joan B. Kroc Institute of Peace and Justice (KIPJ), increased its presence in supporting youths, women, and populations who need access to medical care, education, and other resources, from across the US-Mexico border and other similar areas susceptible to violence or crises. Although the university has a history of maintaining connections and facilitating community engagement in cross-border collaboration, the KIPJ launched a new program. The program intends to provide more space for local and cross-border individuals to initiate plans and projects toward increasing peace, justice, and education about migration challenges.
