Event date: Thursday, October 29, 2009, from 3:15 PM to 4:30 PM

Shane Mathias, Recruiter and and alumni of the Peace Corps, will share his experiences while overseas. He will be able to share first-hand knowledge of what it is like being part of the Peace Corps. You will also learn about the application process which will help you plan for a possible life changing experience with the Peace Corps!

Since 1961, the Peace Corps has shared with the world America’s most precious resource—its people. Peace Corps Volunteers serve in 74 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Collaborating with local community members, Volunteers work in areas like education, youth outreach and community development, the environment, and information technology.

Coming from all walks of life and representing the rich diversity of the American people, Volunteers range in age from college students to retirees. Every Peace Corps Volunteer’s experience is different. From teaching English to elementary school children in Zambia to launching a computer learning center in Moldova to promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in South Africa to working on soil conservation in Panama, Volunteers bring their skill and life experiences to where they are needed most.
