Alicia Barrera, program specialist in the Peace Corps’ Office of University and Domestic Partnerships, met recently with several AUNE students who had served in the Peace Corps.
Kirsty Yetter, Dance/Movement Therapy student; Michael Nork and Victoria Gasidlo, Environmental Studies/Sustainable Development and Climate Change students; and Christa Cozzolino, Elementary, Early Childhood, and Holistic Special Education student, talked with Barrera about their Peace Corps experiences.
Ten AUNE students this year are Peace Corps/Paul D. Coverdell Fellows. AUNE has been a member of the Coverdell Program, which provides scholarships to returning Peace Corps volunteers, since 2011.
