NC State will be hosting a Send-Off Celebration for 15 of our graduating students who will soon be departing for their 27-month service in one of over 60 different countries where Peace Corps Volunteers serve. This will be an opportunity to not only congratulate them on being accepted but to also send them off with words of encouragement and wisdom from local Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. These brave individuals will immerse themselves in a community abroad, working side by side with local leaders to tackle the most pressing challenges of our generation. They will be assigned to work in either Education, Health, Community Economic Development (Business), Environment, Agriculture or Youth Development.
