August 11 2010

Emily Stanek, Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, was the guest speaker at the Lake Murray-Irmo Rotary club on August 11, 2010.  A Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar is a college student chosen to spend an academic year in another country to serve as an Ambassador for Rotary, their home country and their home community while taking classes at a university.  A 2008 graduate of USC, Emily recently returned to the USA after studying at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in the Masters in Communications program.  She represented Rotary and South Carolina by speaking to Rotary and Rotaract clubs, and participating in numerous community service projects in the Monterrey area.  Her presentation summarized her experiences in Mexico and served as a thank-you to the Rotary club for providing the opportunity.
