Dear Faculty Member:

International Peace Corps service may be just the opportunity some of your
students are seeking, and we hope that you can help us raise awareness of the
need for volunteers in your area of expertise.

Peace Corps needs skilled and educated volunteers, especially in your field of
study.
We have several tailored communication tools available upon your request:
* Distribute an e-mail text to your students with program information and web
links.
* Show your classes a short DVD, highlighting volunteers in the field.
* Provide informational handouts, such as program descriptions and brochures.

Simply e-mail our public affairs specialist, Christine Torres, at
mailto:ctorres2 at peacecorps.gov, and ask for the format(s) you prefer. Please
provide your name, department and mailing address in the e-mail.

Peace Corps
(http://pull.xmr3.com/p/3113-7467/72882394/http-www.peacecorps.gov.html) is one
of America's top national service programs and provides the chance to help
others while gaining valuable experience, in addition to other benefits like
the option to combine service with graduate school for credit and/or financial
assistance, full medical and dental coverage while in service, and an organized
network of other returned volunteers for job opportunities and social
connections.

By serving in Peace Corps, volunteers show the world a side of America that
promotes service, cooperation and peace. They learn about new cultures and
expand their world through travel; overcome challenges, find solutions and grow
personally; and acquire global perspective and cross-cultural skills so
important in today's job market. Volunteers also bring their enriching
experience and spirit of community service back home when they return.

Thank you for any help you can give in making this unique opportunity available
to your students.

Sincerely, Kathryn O'Connor

Peace Corps will celebrate a 50-year legacy of service in 2011.
For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps - who works in a
foreign land - will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of
bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and
a condition of peace.
-John F. Kennedy, Establishment of Peace Corps, March 1, 1961
