Iowa State University's Peace Corps office
The opportunity to live and work overseas is exciting, challenging, and a wonderful form of education. Have you considered living and working in regions of the world ranging from the mountains of South America and central Asia to the rainforests of Central America or the deserts of Africa?
There are 28 ISU graduates currently serving in the Peace Corps. They represent a variety of majors- from Agriculture to Engineering to Liberal Studies to Sociology. They are representing the USA, Iowa, ISU, and you in Africa, Central and South America, Eastern Europe, the Pacific Islands, and Asia. To learn more about how to use your skills to make our world a better place, please review our ISU web page, the Peace Corps web page or stop by the Study Abroad office to speak with our representative.
