Peace Fellow Program - August 29 2018 (1)

The title of this blog was the title of the 2018-19 Peace Conference at the Duke-UNC Peace Center in May of 2018.  Each year the seven peace centers each has an event to mark the work and research of its graduating Peace Scholars. There are only 100 each year worldwide.  Vadim is one of District 7600’s newest Alumni Members. He resides and works in the greater Richmond area.  We will learn more from him on the 29th about the Peace Fellow program and about his own work and commitment to peace.

For your convenience, you may print this pdf Peace Fellow Program – August 29 2018.

* Davetta is the Human Resources Officer for the Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA.

Update on Peace Fellow Scholarship Procedures …

Michael W. Little

Michael W. Little, District Peace Fellow Scholarship Chair, has just updated the 2017 -18 peace-fellow-scholarships-information-sheet.  This set of procedures outlines the steps and timelines for a club to follow to sponsor a Peace Fellowship in the 2018 -19 academic year. For the academic year of 2018 -19 the applicant must apply for sponsorship by the club by May 1, 2017.   From there the application is reviewed by the district in the May/June timeframe. If endorsed by the District the application is forwarded to The Rotary Foundation in Chicago by July 1, 2017.  Again the application process is for the 2018-19 academic year.

Michael’s contact information is on page 2 of the guidelines or in ‘Find a Member’ on dacdb.com. The guidelines are also on rotary7600.org/The Rotary Foundation/Programs & Grants.
