Located in the center of Michigan’s lower peninsula, Mt. Pleasant has a rich and diversified history. As home to Central Michigan University, Mid-Michigan College and two of the region’s most heralded health and hospital centers, we offer a vital and energetic lifestyle with amenities not often found in a community retaining a true “hometown” feel. Surrounded by lakes, rivers, forests, and healthy farmland, Mt. Pleasant offers its residents, businesses, and visitors a vibrant place to live, work, learn and play. The City's 21,000+ full-time residents have chosen one of the state's most "walkable" and safest communities where the arts are celebrated, parks are protected, and the entrepreneurial spirit is supported.
Mount Pleasant—A vibrant, inclusive and sustainable community that honors its heritage, serves its university and tribal partnerships, and leads Central Michigan with innovation, culture, and livability. This reflects the city's long-range plan through 2050, with goals focused on sustainable land use, connected mobility, focused redevelopment and exceptional parks.

Yes, I approve the guidelines for an International City of Peace and will provide four or more additional approved signatures of community Peace Team members (see next registration field). "A culture of peace is a set of values, attitudes, traditions and modes of behavior and ways of life based on respect for life, ending of violence and promotion and practice of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation. Tenets include: Full respect for and promotion of all human rights and fundamental freedoms; Commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; Efforts to meet the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations; Respect for and promotion of the right to development; Respect for and promotion of equal rights and opportunities for women and men; Respect for and promotion of the right of everyone to freedom of expression, opinion and information; Adherence to the principles of freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations; and fostered by an enabling national and international environment conducive to peace." In addition, the Golden Rule - "Do for others as you would have them do for you" -- provides a unity proposition for personal, local and global peace.
