Welcome to one of our newest board members, Duke University scholar Peiyao Guo, a Bridge Fellow in classical studies completing a master's degree in humanities.

Peiyao's academic work focuses on the ancient Mediterranean world, with advanced training in Latin and Ancient Greek. Beyond his scholarship, Peiyao is deeply committed to community and civic engagement. He serves on the City of Durham Human Relations Commission, contributes to Climate Advocacy for All as an editor, and volunteers with Duke’s Human Rights Center Student Advisory Board. Peiyao brings a thoughtful, interdisciplinary perspective to Food Paradigm, grounded in both his academic work and his commitment to community impact. His experience in civic engagement and passion for equity and education align strongly with our mission, and we’re looking forward to his contributions as we continue to grow. #SchoolFood #CommunityImpact #NorthCarolina #NonprofitLeadership
