It’s never too early to start thinking about Peace Corps service: a 27-month commitment following graduation.
Peace Corps recruiter Scot Roskelley will be on campus Wednesday, Feb. 27, to conduct an informational session at 4 p.m. in Stevens 109. For those who can’t make it, he will be at a table in Canyon Commons from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can also schedule a one-on-one with him that day by emailing him at sroskelley@peacecorps.gov.
The Peace Corps especially needs individuals with degrees in biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, health education, education, business, math, Spanish and French. People with farm and nursery experience are also in high demand.
Besides being a tremendous opportunity for service and self-growth, Peace Corps experience can help launch careers, too. For instance, people leave Peace Corps service with a letter of non-competitive eligibility for federal government jobs, which can be helpful when applying for jobs at places such as the National Institutes of Health, Center for Disease Control, National Parks, Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, and the Department of Energy’s research laboratories.
In addition, there are more than 200 colleges and universities offering graduate school fellowships to Peace Corps volunteers. Because acceptance to the Peace Corps is competitive (3,500 openings per year and 25,000 applicants), Roskelley encourages students to talk to him as early in their college careers as possible, as there are things students can do which will make them more competitive when they apply during their senior year.
