UVA Alum turned PCV's Do It Big!

Two national media features on UVA friends and their experience with Peace Corps!

Jia, a sorority sister of mine and great source of advice on the challenges of Peace Corps- op-ed featured in the NY Times discussing her experience with Peace Corps in Kyrgyzstan and her stance on Peace Corps' response to Volunteer victims of assault and rape

Jia writes more on the topic on her blog: http://bestlittlebookshelf.wordpress.com/ 

Katie Pollack, just sworn in as Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal.  Amazingly smart friend of mine and classmate in Research Ethics at UVA.

Very proud of both of my friends! They are both very articulate and witty people, so I encourage you to check out their blogs.
