A few months ago, two first-year students from the Kentucky
College of Osteopathic Medicine expressed interest in forming a Rotaract club at
the college. Lisa Adams and Joseph Lewis, both first-year med students, had
been active members in Rotaract clubs at their respective undergrad colleges.
They recognized, first hand, the value of this program affiliated with Rotary
International.
Open to all students at the medical school, the KYCOM
Rotaract club boasts a membership of 36 first-year medical students. These
students seek to serve the needs of their communities, widen their personal and
professional contacts and increase their understanding of the
world.
Pikeville Rotary Club President Jeanne Clark commented, “The
Pikeville Rotary Club is thrilled to sponsor the KYCOM Rotaract club and is
looking forward to partnering with these energetic young people as they look to
serve their community and the world. With their new president Lisa Adams and VP
Joseph Lewis at the helm, I am sure that the Rotaract membership will grow in numbers and be a force for positive change in our community and
internationally.”
