Two Truman alumni who are also Returned Peace Corps Volunteers join us by Zoom (https://zoom.us/my/global.issues) to reflect on their Peace Corps experiences and how they have shaped their perspectives on global issues and policy development.
Jessica Vandivort de Montiel served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala from 2008-2012 in the Youth Development sector.
