According to www.peacecorps.org,
the Peace Corps is a U.S. international service organization that sends
Americans abroad “to tackle the most pressing needs of people around the
world,” with Peace Corps volunteers not only working at the grassroots level in
international communities but also returning home a broader perspective of the
world around them.
The Peace Corps’ identifies its mission as: helping people
of interested countries meet their need for trained men and women; helping
promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served;
and helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of
Americans.
The recruiter’s visit to MTSU is being sponsored by the
College of Liberal Arts, Career Development Center and the University Honors
College.
