Prescott, Arizona (Nov. 13, 2025) – Yavapai College’s Respect Campaign and Justice Institute are co-hosting a Peace Summit on Thursday April 2 and Friday April 3, 2026. This event will create a venue for the different constituencies of the Yavapai College and wider Quad Cities communities to coalesce around important values such as mutuality, open-mindedness, empathy, and courteous conversation. It is our hope that such a gathering will be an effective and cathartic opportunity to employ healing and unity to undermine divisiveness.
