Peace Corps visit coincides with organization’s anniversary

Representatives from the Peace Corps will visit the college on Feb. 24 to meet with interested students, faculty and community members.

A table will be set up in front of the Career Resource Center – room 105 in the Humanities Building – from 3 to 5 p.m. The information session will be followed by a panel discussion with Peace Corps volunteers at 6 p.m. in room 100 of the Student Union Building. The volunteers attending the discussion have served in such countries as Ecuador, Mauritania, Madagascar and Guatemala.

The college has had 124 alumni volunteers  serve with the organization in developing countries.

The events take place as part of Peace Corps Week, Feb. 23 to March 2, which celebrates the anniversary of the organization’s founding more that 40 years ago.
