Peace Corps Representative Speaks to Students

Truman students will have the opportunity to hear from a representative from the Peace Corps during a video conference at 6 p.m. Sept. 25 at the Career Center.

Clifton Johnson was a volunteer to the Kingdom of Tonga from 2003-2005, and he will be discussing his experiences in the Peace Corps.

Earlier this year Truman was ranked 25th on the Peace Corps’ list of medium-sized schools producing volunteers. Since the organizations inception, 154 alumni have joined its ranks. Truman currently has 20 alumni serving as Peace Corps volunteers. The University ranks No. 87 for the number of graduate school alumni participating and is the No. 281 producer of volunteers all-time.

Students who are considering volunteering for the Peace Corps are encouraged to attend. For more information on the video conference contact Polly Matteson at 785.4240 or pollym@truman.edu.
