The Rotary Foundation's third group of students studying peace and 
conflict resolution at a university in Bangkok, Thailand, will 
graduate from their intensive, three-month program on 14 September.

The 20 students, who hail from 13 countries and received financial 
aid from the Foundation, will earn certificates in peace and 
conflicts studies from Chulalongkorn University for completing the 
Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies program.

The program is aimed at professionals working for governmental and 
nongovernmental organizations. Graduates are expected to return to 
their jobs and apply the skills they've learned. The first class of 
students graduated in September 2006. The next group will begin 
studying in January.

This week's graduates include a staff correspondent for a newspaper 
in India, a deputy police superintendent from Nigeria, a teacher from 
the United States, and a program coordinator for a nongovernmental 
organization in Tajikistan.
