What is the Georgia Rotary
Student Program?
Since 1946, Rotarians in Georgia, USA,
have promoted world peace through understanding by offering scholarships to
international students for one year of study in Georgia colleges and
universities. Georgia Rotary Clubs sponsor students recommended by a Rotary
Club in their home country. The students become adopted members of a Georgia
"host family," but live on-campus at the school they attend. This is a
scholarship program, not an exchange! Each year, about 80 students from all
over the world make friends in the United States and other nations and learn
about differing cultures and life styles. Georgia Rotarians believe "Peace
is Possible" and through GRSP promote international goodwill through the
bonds of friendship and understanding.

 Meet
Dr. I.M. Ibrahim
Sponsored
by the Rome Rotary Club
Shorter College, Class of 1960-61
Dr. Ibrahim M. Ibrahim began at Clemson as a
professor of chemistry until 1967 when the university
decided to start a varsity soccer program. Dr. Ibrahim
was named head coach and eventually led Clemson to
national prominence.
He led Clemson to two of their
four National Championships, more than any other sport
in the college's history. His team won the National
Championship in 1984 and 1987. He had a career record of
388-100-31 as soccer coach and finished in the top 20
for 18 seasons. During his tenure he also led the team
to six NCAA Final Four Appearances, 17 NCAA Appearances,
and 11 ACC Championships along with 13 regular season
titles.
Dr. Ibrahim had 16 players earn 24
All-American Honors. He also had 51 Tigers to be named
to the All-ACC First-Team 92 times. He coached three
U.S. Olympians and eight players were named ACC
Players-of-the-Year 12 times. He retired from coaching
in 1994 as the nation's fifth 'winningest' coach. He is
still thought of today when Clemson's men's soccer is
mentioned.
"Thanks to the Georgia Rotary Student Program, I was
able to carve out a busy life for myself. I think of
that wonderful opportunity over and over again... no one
knows how much it meant to a young man growing up in
Israel who was not Jewish," said Dr. Ibrahim. |
