Japanese diplomat
earns Rotary alumni award
By Sallyann Price
The recipient of this year’s Rotary Alumni Global
Service Award
is Dr. Sadako Ogata, a former Ambassadorial Scholar
and a past
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Born in Japan to a family of diplomats
, Ogata was
drawn to studying international relations
after Japan’s defeat in World War II.
When she began graduate studies
at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,
USA, in 1951
, she was part of the second class of Rotary Scholars from Japan.
Rotary International has awarded Dr. Sadako Ogata,
a former High
Commissioner for Refugees
with the UN's refugee agency, with the 2016-17
Rotary
Alumni Global Service Award.
“During that period,
I also learned about the
importance of community service
and broadened my perspectives and experiences
thanks
to various exchanges with Rotarians,” she says.
“The Rotary motto of
Service Above Self has left a deep impression
and has guided me ever since.”
After completing her doctorate at the University of
California, Berkeley,
Ogata returned to Japan to teach at International
Christian University,
which now hosts a Rotary Peace Center,
and Sophia
University, where she taught until accepting
the post of United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees
(head of UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency) in
1991
. She also represented Japan at the UN General Assembly,
served at the
Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations,
and chaired the UNICEF
executive board.
