On Monday, October 27, Dean Mackintosh spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville about his experiences as a Scottish student studying at Georgia Gwinnett College as part of the Georgia Rotary Sponsored Student (GRSP) program.  Dean provided photographs and witty commentary about his daily life in Edinburgh, including a brief historical context of the country and a summary of the recent Scottish independence vote.   Dean comes from a family with several national and international competitors in lawn bowling and he has carried on the tradition by competing at the national level himself. Dean became interested in studying in the US after coming here twice as a tourist.  He enjoyed his visits but wanted to come to see life from the viewpoint of a resident.  He is enjoying his time in the US and at GGC, traveling to many sporting events, other college campuses, and other typical places an American college student might go.  He has a newfound interest in basketball and is a fan of the New York Knicks, in particular. Dean aspires to be an electrical engineer, specializing in renewable energy.
