The mission of the Peace Corps is to promote world peace and friendship by providing qualified volunteers to interested countries in need of trained manpower, by fostering a better understanding of Americans on the part of the people served and by fostering a better understanding of other people on the part of Americans. And now, to make things even easier, they have designed a new, easier, and improved Application process! Learn more at the CU-Boulder Peace Corps website: http://www.colorado.edu/peacecorps/
The University of Colorado ranks No. 8 in the nation with graduates serving in the Peace Corps and has been in the top 10 for a decade. In 2010 and 2011 CU held the #1 position for Peace Corps recruitment in the nation, with 117 and 112 alumni serving abroad, respectively. Thanks to the over 2,000 CU graduates who have already answered the call to service since Peace Corps was established in 1961.
