Peace Corps is a life-changing, career-launching opportunity for Illinois State students.

“Being in the Peace Corps will help my career by showing employers that I can succeed without many resources, adapt to new environments, show commitment, and overcome challenges all with independence and confidence,” notes Brad Christin ’18, who is about to depart for Paraguay.

Christin was among the first Redbirds to complete the Peace Corps Prep program, which helps students develop and document core competencies valued by Peace Corps and other employers.
