John and Erma Stutzman Peace Fellows Program
The John and Erma Stutzman Peace Fellows Program was created in 2007 with the purpose of encouraging talented Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø University students to pursue focused study in areas involving peace, conflict resolution, and social justice, areas that reflect the broader university mission.
- Students who are selected into the program complete three approved courses as well as an independent study and an internship related to their area of interest.
- A small fund is available to assist students in fulfillment of program requirements and an advisory faculty panel helps Peace Fellows to complete the program in a successful and timely manner.
- To date, our Peace Fellows have pursued interests involving illegal child immigrants, environmental racism, the social construction of disability, human rights reconciliation efforts in South Africa, and post-conflict educational reform in Bosnia.
