AD CU PEACE CORPS MA THEMATICS/SCIENCE FELLOWS PROGRAM MAY UPDATE As the Peace Corps celebrates its 25th Anniversary, Teachers College/Columbia University also notes its 25th Anniversary working with the Peace Corps. Being the first graduate teacher training institution in the world to embrace the study of education cross-culturally, Teachers College, the largest and most comprehensive graduate school of education in the world, bas been actively committed to improving the quality of education here and in the developing world. The College has been involved in training Peace Corps Volunteers since the initial stages of the program in 1961. In January, 1985, Loret Miller Ruppe, Director of Peace Corps, and P. Michael Timpane, President of Teachers College/Columbia University, signed a letter of agreement initiating a new cooperative project, the Peace Corps Mathematics/Science Fellows Program. The purpose of this new venture is to attract a qualified and experience pool of mathematics and science educators, from the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, to teach in the inner city schools and to upgrade present levels of instruction in the same subjects in New York and selected Peace Corps countries. David Riesman, the noted social scientist, predicted that "the greatest impact of the Peace Corps may be in the United States when Volunteers return." Nineteen Peace Corps Mathematics/Science Fellows were selected from a large cluster of applicants and are now teaching in the New York City schools, where a critical shortage of qualified mathematics and science teachers exists. According to the Principal of South Bronx High School, Debra Michaud, the Fellow assigned to teach mathematics, is the first licensed mathematics teacher to arrive at his school in almost two years. In another school, the Principal praised the motivation, dedication, and fine work of the Fellow teaching science, noting that other teachers w~re using his teaching plans and materials. The n i neteen Fellows splendidly enrich the New York City schools; the y come from 16 states and have taught in 15 different countries. While pursuing a Master's Degree in Mathematics or Science Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, the Fellows are assigned to teach in New York City's secondary schools, where the lack of teachers in these subjects is reaching critical levels. The Fellows' commitment to the Program is that they teach for a period of two years on a full-time basis; their 32-point Master's de g ree can be easily completed on a part-time basis in the two year period • . Teache rs College is offerin g an award of one half of the tuition to the Fellows--the r emaining tu i tion costs will be covered b y loans , of which up to one half will be forgiven upon satisfact o ry completion of their two year teachi ng assignment. The acad emic program will lead to a permanent New York York State teaching certificate, honored in 39 other states through reciprocal agreements. T his month, the Peace Cor ps Mathematics/Science Fellows Program will accept 10 additional c a ndidates for the Fall Semester, raising the total number of Fellows to 29. The second component of the Program will involve the College in co n ducting a series vf mathematics and science in-service training workshops in Peace Corps countries for the benefit of P ea ce Corps Volunteers and their local counterparts. A preliminary needs-assessment was conducted last August in Ghana, West Africa, by Prof. Bruce Vog eli , Chairman of the Mathematics and Science Department. In the needs-assessment report, Dr. Vogeli stated that Teachers College, Columbia University participation in an in-service activity in Accra, Ghana, seems academically feasibl e . Dr. Vogeli will l~ad the team to Ghana, which includes Dr. Elizabeth Heng, Dr. Lisa Evered Hiller, and Mr. Tim Olson, from June 24 through July 4, 1986. Fifteen (15) Peace Corps Volunteers, 15 Ghanaian counterparts, 2 Ministry of Education personnel members, and 2 Cape Coast University professors are registered for the workshop. The topics to be covered are creative teaching, teaching diverse age and ability groups, and designing and utilizing appropriate science apparatus for the Ghanaian classroom. Current Financial Needs: Also present during the signing of the letter of agreement in Washington, D.C. on January 30, 1985 was Glegg ~atson, Manager of the Higher Education Division of Xerox Corporation. To date, the program has received $40,000 from Xerox Corporation which, since September, 1984, has served to publicize the program and establish the necessary operational and administrative mechanisms. In September, 1985, President Ronald Reagan sent a letter to Mr. David T. Kearns , Chairman of the Board of Xerox Corporation, recognizing the Peace Corps Mathematics/Science Fellows Program and commendin g Xerox for its "support for this innovative program." Xerox Corporation has pledged another $20,000 for September, 1986. Last summer, the program rece i ved two additional needed contributions: an anonymous benefactor donated $15,000 and $10,000 arrived from the Hebr e w Technical Institute. The Program Directors are very grateful for their support and hope for their - 2 - continued interest. Funds are needed to offset the cost of tuition for the current Fellow~. Although Teachers College, Columbia University received a large number of applications, due to the limited financial resources available, it was necessary to create a cut-off point in the number of candidates accepted into the Program. It is hoped that additional funding will allow the Program to continue expanding in the Autumn Semester of 1986. The Program Directors would like to see the number of Fellows going through the Program reach 30 per year. The annual conference for the Fellows, referred to in the Program description, would also require monies which are currently not available. With regard to the Program's international component, the future of in-service activities, like the one planned for Ghana this summer, are economically questionable; the projected expenses far exceed present allocations in the current budget. Teachers College, Columbia University and Peace Corps are currently negotiating the source of funding for the in-service training program in African, Asian and Latin American Peace Corps countries for 1986 and beyond.

    THE WHITE HOUSE March 1, 1981 TWENTIETH AIWIWERSARY OF THE PEACE CORPS For the last twenty years; more than eighty-thousand American volunteers have fought, and often conquered, illiteracy, hunger, poverty and illness in more than ninety countries. Their efforts, dedicated to world peace through international goodwill, have done much to replace fear and mistrust with mutual understanding. These Americans are past and present Peace Corps volunteers. On this anniversary, and on behalf of all their countrymen, I commend them today for their personal contributions to international friendship and peace.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Peace Corps Volunteers and the Boundaries of Bottom-up Development: Mongolia, a Case Study A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Hugh Erik Schuckman 2012 © Copyright by Hugh Erik Schuckman 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Peace Corps Volunteers and the Boundaries of Bottom-up Development: Mongolia, a Case Study by Hugh Erik Schuckman Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Sol Cohen, Chair From President Kennedy’s first announcement of a non-military US volunteer corps in 1961, the Peace Corps has been one of the preeminent government grassroots volunteer development agency. This study explores the history of the ambiguities inherent in this contention, pressure primarily stemming from the organization’s role as both a governmental diplomatic and a popular grassroots development agency. The genealogy of conflict stems from three ill-defined and considered elements: the grassroots volunteer, development, and the discourses of grassroots programming. In bracketing these terms, this study illustrates the ways organizational epistemology is fractured among political actors, staff, and volunteers. Though the Peace Corps organizational rhetoric has shifted these categories over the years, the organization’s political face has remained dominant in organizational attitudes and expressions. This dissertation underscores the disproportionate weight of this side of the discourse, which is simultaneously most at odds with the idea of the horizontal, grassroots rhetoric of the organization. In demonstrating the paradox of the Peace Corps’ simultaneous rhetorical role as a i grassroots development organization and US political theater, I combed archival resources such as pamphlets, reports, internal memos, and posters produced by the organization to better understand the particular messages contained in these documents.
