A Message from the new OSU Peace Corps Campus Recruiter 
October 2023
The Peace Corps is back. After resuming service in March 2022, over 2300 volunteers are now active in over fifty-three countries. Whether you are a senior looking to serve after graduation, or generally exploring international development work, this is an exciting time to learn how Peace Corps volunteers partner with local communities in Education, Agriculture, Health, Community Economic Development and other areas. Interested seniors should consider applying for positions with the January 1st or April 1st deadlines. Visit the Peace Corps site for more information, or to apply to be a Peace Corps Volunteer.
I am excited to come onboard as the new OSU Campus Recruiter. I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Malawi), and also an OSU alumna. I'll be at campus events throughout the semester. My contact information is listed below.
