In late Fall of 2014, Nina Sobotka and Jan Raether were awarded Stern Fellowships through the Clark Honors College. The Stern Fellowship funded their participation in a weeklong seminar on Human Rights and Violent Conflict at Oxford University over Spring Break. Throughout the seminar Nina and Jan had the opportunity to learn from preeminent scholars on humanitarian aid and peace studies such as Hugo Slim and Cheyney Ryan. Additionally they were able to engage in discussion with students from universities across the United States. They have returned not only inspired, but hopeful about the future.
