WHEN: 9:30 a.m. ET, Monday, Feb. 10, 2014
WHERE: Smathers Library (Library East) at the University of Florida, Room 1A
Peace Corps Acting Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet will visit the
University of Florida on Monday, Feb. 10 to talk with students and
faculty about how Peace Corps service can give them a competitive edge
in today’s global job market. Peace Corps volunteers travel to the
farthest corners of the world where they work toward sustainable change
while gaining hands-on experience and developing the skills employers
are looking for now more than ever.
College graduates who
have served with the Peace Corps return home with a global perspective
as well as cross-cultural, leadership, community development and
language skills. They give back to their communities here at home and
enrich the lives of those around them, helping to strengthen
international ties and increase our country’s global competitiveness.
Students and community members can contact the North Florida field-based recruiter Chad Chernet at cchernet@peacecorps.gov to learn more.
