2024 Elizabethtown College Peace Fellow: Dr. David Radcliff
David Radcliff, Ph.D. is the Director of the New Community Project, a small nonprofit with a big goal: to change the world.

He has also served as an adjunct faculty member at Elizabethtown College's School of Graduate and Professional Studies, teaching in the areas of environmental ethics, hunger and poverty, and globalization. He holds a doctorate in peace studies and has previously served as director of peace, environmental and hunger programs for the Church of the Brethren General Board.
