Update on Holly's Peace Scholar experience

Holly White, Newfoundland and Labrador's first Rotary International Peace Fellow, will speak to the club today about her experience over the last year and a half at the University of Bradford's Rotary Peace Centre in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom and her Applied Field Experience this summer at the Migration Research Centre at Koc University in Istanbul, Turkey.  The Rotary International Peace Fellowship includes tuition at one of the Peace Centres, along with enriching co-curricular experiences related to peace, conflict resolution, reconciliation and non-violence.  She completed her Master of Arts in Peace, Conflict and Development during her Fellowship.  Holly is a former Group Study Exchange participant (2009 to Japan) and one of the inaugural recipients of the St. John’s Northwest Aidan Maloney Emerging Professional Award for Vocational and Community Service .  Her Rotary Peace Fellowship was endorsed by the St. John's Northwest Club.  The theme for her talk today is Peace in Practice.
