Greer visits the Center for Living Peace in Irvine at a fundraising event for the King Hussein Foundation with Queen Noor of Jordan. The Center for Living Peace and UC Irvine are proudly presenting Queen Noor as the fifth speaker in the Living Peace Series promoting the work of organizations and leaders who are making "Good Happen" in the world and to create dialogue and action that lead to a more peaceful, connected, and sustainable world. Queen Noor will be speaking about her work in global conflict prevention, resolution and recovery at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 2 at UC Irvine. She'll be addressing topics of gender, poverty and socio-economic diversity, while focusing on the commonalities of people, rather than the differences. The discussion will be moderated by Dalai Lama Scholar, Armaan Ahmed Rowther, as well as UCI Chancellor Michael V. Drake and Kelly Thornton Smith founder of Center for Living Peace.
