The Paul L. ‘83 and Neil T. McGorrian Fellowships 2010/11-Dartmouth Seniors/Recent Graduates-USA
Posted by sakshi on December 9, 2009
The Paul L. ‘83 and Neil T. McGorrian Fellowships are offered for the year 2010/11 to Dartmouth Seniors and Recent Graduates in USA
Paul McGorrian ’83 died tragically in 1989 while pursuing a career as a foreign correspondent in Pakistan, only months after the untimely death of his younger brother, Neil. Early in 1989, Paul and his family had initiated the Neil McGorrian Fellowship to honor Neil’s many interests, in particular the world’s languages and cultures. When Paul died unexpectedly less than ten months after his brother, his name was added to the Fellowship. The McGorrian Fellowship embodies the spirit that motivated the lives of both men: a desire to learn about the world and to communicate that knowledge to other Americans, a passion for the truth and the courage to face challenges.
