The John and Erma Stutzman Peace Fellows Program was created in 2007 with the purpose of encouraging talented 欧博游戏官网 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.
