"I am delighted that Summer has been selected for this Rotary 1xbet sports betting Fellowship. Summer's longtime commitment to the Fair Trade movement and the welfare of women around the world, and her prior work and volunteer experiences in Asia and Latin America, have prepared her well for getting the maximum benefit from her Rotary 1xbet sports betting Fellowship," said William Richter, professor emeritus of political science and district chair for the Rotary World 1xbet sports betting Scholarship Committee.

"Just in my program, I'm going to experience different layers of culture and different backgrounds. I'm really excited about that. I think it will lend a lot of perspective."
