The University of Arizona is known for having a vibrant and active Returning Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) community. Our students are lucky to encounter many RPCV faculty, staff and students on campus.
Our RPCV Spotlight series highlights their experiences before, during and after service in the Peace Corps.
