Peace Studies

Ambassadorial scholar sponsored by Rotary Club of White Sands – Polly Walker, 1995-1996, studied at the University of Queensland, Australia, and stayed on as a faculty member of that university doing research for Australian Peace and Conflict Studies. In January, 2005 she was invited to the island of Tulag in the Solomon Islands where she conducted training workshops for the chiefs of that island.
