Rotary Centers for International Studies

Polio isn’t the only project that is capturing the attention of the world community. We are among a select few organizations actively working to make peace and conflict resolution an academic discipline – one with very practical applications. TRF has partnered with eight leading universities around the world to establish Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution.

One of the World Peace Scholars, Derran Moss, said at the International Assembly in Anaheim in January 2003:

“We must believe with all our heart and soul and strength that there is such a thing as truth, and to strive for it with the soul of a martyr and the intellect of an advocate. For me, being a Rotary World Peace Scholar…is about refusing to accept the world as it is, and not shutting up until something is done.”
