peaceful future.

resolution, mediation, public speaking and cross

local excursions to San Diego historical attractions and

cultural events, such as the Mayors office, the U.S.-

Mexico border, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and a

harbor cruise.

pants with hands-on tools for resolving conflict for

application and re-direction to their own situations athome.

ideally have demonstrated their potential for community,

national or international leadership.

together at the University of San Diego for the duration

of the Hansen Summer Institute. The Institute will be
