WHAT'S NEW—Nobel Peace Prize laureate to speak at KSU
Jody Williams received the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for her work banning landmines.
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams will speak at Kennesaw State University on Thursday, Feb. 2, as part of the university’s Pathways to Peace Lecture Series.
Williams is the founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL). She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 in recognition of her efforts to bring about the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty.
According to the ICBL website, the campaign is a global network in over 90 countries. Its mission is to free the world of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions and to help survivors lead fulfilling lives. The organization will celebrate its 20th anniversary in October of this year.
We love Jody! Anyone near Kennesaw State University should definitely go see this.
