The Berlin Zoo helped shape German views of both the human and animal worlds for more than 170 years. This includes the ethnographic display of African people, the Inuit, and other global Indigenous people in the late 19th century, as well as the Nazis' attempts to breed back long-extinct European cattle.
Constable Eric Boynton, recipient of the Rotary Peace Scholarship and alumni of both the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) and Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (MPACS) programs here at Conrad Grebel, is extremely thankful for the funding the scholarship provided him. During his time in the MPACS program, Eric worked full-time. His partner was also in school, and they had a newborn at home. The Rotary scholarship funding alleviated the financial pressure of continued education, giving him the financial security he needed to focus on and complete his schooling – without which he may have been an entirely different person now.
The PACS department has over $10,000 in scholarship money for students registered in PACS each year. Scholarship applications for Fall 2019 awards are due Friday, February 25 at 9:00am.
