Student from Kenya wins Rotary scholarship
Issue date: 4/27/09 Section: News
The Portsmouth Rotary recently awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Alihussein Noordin, of Nairobi, Kenya. He is the first recipient of the Scholarship for International Students.
"He has volunteered his time in the community working with Habitat for Humanity and he is an outstanding student academically," said Dr. John Lorentz, director of SSU's Center for International Programs and Activities.
Noordin is a biology student at SSU in his third semester. He plans to graduate from SSU. Since he moved here, he has traveled to several states.
"What I find fascinating is the difference in the states," Noordin said. "It is much different in Florida, New York and Ohio."
He would like to pursue a master's degree after his undergraduate studies.
