Did you know the University of Arkansas has a partnership with the Peace Coprs to prepare students for service through the campus Peace Corps Prep certificate program? A new website has been launched to help students prepare for the Peace Corps through their academic and co-curricular activities, and to guide them through the Prep program. The site also features returned volunteers working at the university. Students interested in completing the Peace Corps Prep certificate program should visit the new Peace Corps Prep website or contact the Office of Study Abroad and International Exchange or the Peace Corps Prep Program Advisor, Alshaatha Alsharji at aalsharj@uark.edu.
