CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) The Valley City Rotary Club is proud to recognize fellow Rotarian, Dr. Greg Carlson, for recently obtaining the distinguished honor as a Paul Harris Fellow recipient.

Carlson is the Director of Institutional Research & Assessment at Valley City State University.

The recognition acknowledges individuals who have made contributions in their name, of U.S. $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.

Established in 1957 to show appreciation for and encourage substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships.

Many other notable figures have been named as Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and Jonas Salk. 

The number of Paul Harris Fellows recipients reached the one million mark back in 2006.
