DUKE-UNC ROTARY CENTER
Darshan Mundada, Class of 2008-2010
Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and
the successful resolution of conflict throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service
activities. Fellows earn a master's degree in international relations, sustainable development,
peace studies, conflict resolution, or a professional development certificate in peace and
conflict studies.
The Duke-UNC Rotary Center is one of six Rotary Peace Center Partner Universities worldwide.
Fellows selected to study at the Duke-UNC Rotary Center will enroll either at Duke's Master's Program in International Development Policy (MIDP), or in UNC master's programs under various relevant departments and schools (for details see Academic Options).
The joint Duke -UNC Rotary Center for International Studies takes advantage of the best faculty, courses, resources and technology that each university offers. All of our Fellows have access to these resources on both campuses. Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are located within 10 miles of one another, and both border the Research Triangle Park, home to internationally renowned research facilities and corporations. The area has been ranked as one of the best places in America for living, working and for education by a number of national publications.
