Rotary Centers Major Gifts Initiative

To honor Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary International, and to recognize the 50th anniversary of his death, the Rotary Centers for International Studies were approved in 1997. The first class of 66 fellows was announced in 2002, and they began their studies the
same year. Now, five years later, we are proud to have four classes of Rotary World Peace Fellow alumni — 232 graduates practicing conflict resolution and peace-building around the world.

PROMOTING OUR

WORLD PEACE FELLOWS PROGRAM

Today, more than ever, the world needs leaders committed to peace. Through the Rotary World Peace Fellowship program, Rotary is providing tomorrow’s leaders the tools to promote peace in the world.

Rotary has partnered with seven leading universities around the globe to develop the Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution.

The Rotary World Peace Fellowship Program train professionals in conflict resolution and mediation strategies to foster policies and create settings that ensure peace worldwide.

The master’s level degree program is aimed at mid-career professionals in government, nongovernmental organizations and private corporations. Program alumni have found high-ranking positions for organizations such as USAID, the United Nations, Interpol and the World Bank.

Rotarians, on behalf of World Peace, we are asking for your help to seek out qualified candidates for our Rotary Centers Fellowship Program. We are now soliciting applications for the class of 2008-2010. Contact your district leadership for application information.

Please forward this message to anyone you think might be (or know of) a worthy candidate for a ROTARY CENTERS FELLOWSHIP valued at upwards to US $60,000.00.

Together, we can help train and equip our future leaders for a better tomorrow.
