President Tommy Gibbons welcomes University of South Carolina graduate Catherine Glen to the podium to update Capital Rotary Club members on her Global Grant Scholar activities for 2016-17. Glen, who taught special education students in rural Japan for three years, is now working toward a master’s degree in the psychology of childhood adversity from Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As part of this year-long program, she wants to help establish a child development center in Nairobi. Global Grant scholarships support graduate level study in one of Rotary International’s six areas of focus: peace, disease prevention, water and sanitation, maternal/child health, education, and economic/community development.
