DUKE-UNC ROTARY PEACE CENTER BOARD & STAFF

The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center was the first center to create a governing board to help oversee the operations of the program. The quarterly board meetings and annual retreats have been instrumental in the ongoing success of the Center and the development of the Fellows.

In addition to these members, each cohort elects a student representative. The student representatives meet with the board twice a year to share the perspective of their cohort of Rotary Peace Fellows.
