When other universities start their Master's International Programs they look to Michigan Tech for advice. Below you will find four of the many schools and programs that have asked for our help as they launch their programs.

Texas A&M University - general advice

Dear Dr. Orr,

Texas A&M University and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences initiated a Peace Corps Master’s International program in agriculture and natural resources management this past July.  We are very excited about this program.  Currently, we are in the process of raising awareness of the program in our university community and recruiting our first students.  As your university has more than a decade of experience partnering in the MI program, would you be willing to share any information or advise on recruiting students and applicant evaluation with me and my advisory committee that would help us as we implement this program.

I will appreciate any information you can share and look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Cathryn Clement
Academic Coordinator
Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture

Virginia Tech - student reports

Dear Blair,

Thank you for the update of your Peace Corps Quarterly Report Guidelines. With your permission I will adapt it for use in our MIP in urban and regional planning. So far, volunteers have used it reasonably well.

Best wishes,
