During its public launch on Sept. 24, the UFV Peace and Reconciliation Centre (PARC) announced that it would be allocating $30,000 to support students, faculty, and community members in leading various projects related to peace and conflict resolution.
PARC awarded its first Linking Fellowship to Dr. Fiona MacDonald, associate professor and head of UFV's Political Science department, on October 7.

"[These grants] enable them to design and implement research activities to contribute directly to identifying the roots of conflict and creating pathways to reconciliation."
