A partnership between the Peace Corps and the School of Public Health's Global Health Initiative and the Department of Behavioral and Community Health, this undergraduate certificate program will prepare you to be a competitive applicant to the Peace Corps. Upon completion of the program, students will receive a certificate from the Peace Corps. Any University of Maryland, College Park undergraduate student is eligible to enroll regardless of major or citizenship.

This event will provide an overview of the new Peace Corps Prep program and include a panel discussion with former Peace Corps volunteers who will share their experiences. Dean Lushniak will discuss the importance of global health and service through the Peace Corps. Attendees can learn more about the Peace Corps also through a video that will be shown.  The Peace Corps alumni panelists will share and take questions from students and faculty in attendance. The deadline for students to apply for the Peace Corps Prep program for next year is March 15, so this is an opportunity to to ask questions and explore if the program is right for you!
