Around 25 rotarians enjoyed a tour of the College and a complimentary lunch. Fred Martin, director of advancement of Conrad Grebel University College was our host. PACS department chair, Reina Neufeldt and some (MPACS) Master of Peace and Conflict Studies students were also the part,
This wasa great opportunity to visit this amazing institution, that is right here in our District, and to learn about the peace and conflict studies courses available.
