The University of Arizona Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows Impact:
" I really didn't understand what I was getting into when I accepted the Peace Corps Fellowship at the UA. I knew it would provide financial benefits. What I didn't know is that would connect me with an entire community in Tucson, Arizona. I didn't know the quality of internship I would find or the mentor who would help me build my professional skills and get me ready for finding a job after graduation. I connected with other students from other disciplines, connected with local service organizations. I found friends in a new place, many of whom remain my closest friends, not just from Tucson, but forever friends. The Peace Corps Fellow program helped me find community when I was far from home… [The Coverdell Fellows program] goes beyond the financial and creates an RPCV community full of opportunities, service, and camaraderie. I would highly encourage anyone considering to just do it –I applied on a whim and it’s one of those happy accidents that forever changed my life for the better. "
