Abstract
This study was focused on peacebuilding, and methodologically, the researcher employed a qualitative approach using a case study. However, data sources relied on both primary and secondary data. Moreover, data collection tools and techniques included semi-structured, in-depth interviews, FGD, personal observation, and document analysis. Purposive sampling techniques were used. Collected data were analysed through thematic analysis. The findings of this research revealed that external and internal factors contribute to the peaceful operation of the university and a stable campus environment, but inter-ethnic conflict and outside political factors in the academic life of students in other universities disrupt peaceful teaching and learning. But Samara University is the safest and most peaceful in Ethiopia, according to the Ministry of Education, which named it a peace ambassador. This is because university leaders follow inclusive approaches to peace and other universities, such as Samara University.
