IN THE SPOTLIGHT - Faculty Notable Dr. W. Patrick Roche, associate professor, has been selected to lead a team from south Georgia to southeastern Turkey in May for the Rotary Foundation. He was chosen for his experiences in foreign travel leading medical mission trips, though the travel to Turkey will be a non-medical group study exchange, during which he and four young professionals will be hosted in Turkish homes and study all aspects of Turkish culture. Two Mercer University graduates, Johnna Bussell and Gabrielle Washington, will be among team members. In addition to Mercer, Dr. Roche represents the Macon Rotary Club and the Rotary District 6920 in the exchange; a similar group will come from Turkey to Georgia during the same month, with hosting by local Rotarians.
