Did You Know?
Our District is taking applications for Global Scholars! We need to find a Global Scholar for the 2022-2023 Rotary year in the next six weeks. If you know of someone who would benefit from graduate-level course work or research in a country outside of the United States during the 2022-2023 academic year, we want to work with them to possibly be a Rotary Global Scholar. Please go the Global Scholar section of the District 5970 website for more information or contact the Global Scholar chairperson Chris Lindell. Watch this video about the program and an interview with past Global Scholar Katie Wilford - https://vimeo.com/592919339
