The Jane and Bill Seeley Peace and Justice Scholarship is focused on supporting peace makers who want to live out the five peace actions set forth by World Citizen Peace!
Jane Hanger Seeley and Bill Seeley were both committed to social justice and peace in their lives. Jane attended Yale Divinity School and was a Campus Minister at the University of Minnesota as well as working at several community focused organizations as an advocate and leader. She impacted so many people and the world around her in large and small ways.
Bill Seeley was a dedicated member of the Peace Corps in Bangalore, India in the late 1960s, where he met my brother, Krishna Seeley who my parents would later adopt. He worked at NSP and then went on to get his law degree from Hamline law school. He worked as an attorney and also at the Carlson School of Management, where he taught international business courses as well as environmental protection courses. He was always an advocate for international peace and wanted to learn about the world around him.
