My name is Aaron Lowe. I am the Practice Administrator for Canyon View Medical Group. I was fortunate to spend my junior year of high school as a foreign exchange student in Copenhagen, Denmark. That year abroad changed my life and has shaped many of my life choices. The organization that I went with was Rotary International. Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
As an adult, I have become involved in Rotary again. Locally, the Spanish Fork Rotary Club does many service projects to help the community, including raising funds to provide over 20 college scholarships per year or providing dictionaries to 3rd graders in Nebo School District. Internationally, Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we’ve reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
The role I am most excited by, with my involvement in Rotary, is through my services as the Outbound Coordinator for Utah Rotary Youth Exchange. We send approximately 20 students worldwide each year, some for just a summer exchange and some for an entire school year. I get to help students across Utah become foreign exchange students like I did when I was a youth. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens.
