It’s Peace Corps Week and we’re celebrating the many returned Peace Corps volunteers among our faculty, staff and students.

Career advisor Scott Webb shared: “Peace Corps was the defining experience of my career. Niger is generally one of the poorest countries in the world on the UN Human Development Index. I was exposed to life in a rural village of subsistence farmers and pastoralists – the challenges they face are hard to understand from a desk in the US. Being there and experiencing poverty, while also experiencing the incredibly diversity and hospitality of the Nigerien people, made me fall in love with Africa and humanitarian development work. One of the reasons I served in Peace Corps is because a Dean at the Middlebury Institute told me in 1996 that to get into the school, I needed more international experience, “like doing the Peace Corps.” So when I decided after Peace Corps to become an international development program manager, MIIS was the natural place to go to complete the circle. When I graduated with my MPA in 2007, I then worked for 8 years in International Development for 3 different NGO’s, working across a dozen countries, mostly in Africa.

RPCV’s all have developed a strong ability to adapt and improvise, and their cross-cultural skills end up highly developed once they come back to study with us here. The culture of innovation and the focus on strengths-based, appreciative program design is a perfect fit with the MIIS mission and methodologies. We at MIIS care about making the world a better place – RPCV’s come here bringing their diverse experiences from so many corners of the planet, we are always benefiting from their creativity and passion.” #PeaceCorpsWeek
