We would like to thank you for your cooperation and
support as we have worked to renew our partnerships, and to improve operations
overall. We look forward to learning about your programs, contacts, and new and
continuing students. Keep us updated on your website changes, student groups,
events, and newsletters. We look forward to your continued collaboration with
your Peace Corps regional office, and we hope that you will continue to share
your experiences with Master's International (MI) staff, your colleagues, and
interested partner schools.
Keep in mind that Peace Corps assignments are developed
by in-country staff based on the needs and requests of interested communities
and the education and skills of the Peace Corps Volunteer. A Peace Corps
assignment provides a unique opportunity for students to apply what they
have learned in your graduate program to benefit a host country community.
Rather than determining a research topic in advance, MI students and
advising faculty should be prepared to remain flexible and allow the
Peace Corps assignment to shape and inform the academic work. It is important
that the MI student is guided and supported by university coordinators
and faculty throughout their experience.
We look forward to working with
you to maintain a program on your campus that allows for an educational
and fulfilling experience for both your students and faculty.

Expanding MI Offerings at Your University
If your university currently has an MI program and would like to expand into another
field, there is a separate proposal process which would result in an addendum to the
current agreement. For further information, contact the Master’s International staff
at 202.692.1812 or via email at mastersinternational@peacecorps.gov.
