International Peace Day
About the September Sticker:
September celebrates International Peace Day on September 1st.
The design inspiration for the International Peace Day sticker featuring an Earth walking happily with a peace sign hand symbol is a visual representation of the profound connection between global harmony and the well-being of our planet. The design is meant to encapsulate the idea that a harmonious world brings happiness to all living beings, emphasizing the inseparable link between global peace and the health of our planet.

Submissions from the campus community
I find peace in little moments! I think spending time with good friends and doing something simple like going to eat or watching the sunset turn into the stars is super peaceful and is how I practice self-care. I also find a lot peace from making myself dinner and taking myself out
