It's no exaggeration to say that that scholarship changed my direction in life, & I have been privileged to act as Director of the Rotary Peace Centre at the University of Bradford over the past few years. Rotary have also been stalwart partners in PeaceJam and peace education.

A huge congratulations to Professor Fiona Macaulay, who was named a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International at our recent Peace Seminar!

Her are Fiona’s own words on the Paul Harris Fellowship, and her journey with Rotary - “It was truly an honour to be named a Paul Harris Fellow, Rotary International's award for ‘service above self.’ My journey with Rotary started 41 years ago with a Rotary Graduate Fellowship.
