Returned volunteers were asked to share their significant volunteer experiences in the form of excerpts from journals, letters, clip pings and photographs. These personal stories of people, projects, achievements, frustrations and insights gave visitors to the library a varied and human look at the Peace Corps. Textiles from developing nations lent by former volunteers served as a background for the exhibit.

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.

    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.

    · BU LDING SUPPORT AT HOME: PEACE CO S . 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.

Since that time, she has directed the activities of more than 6,000 Peace Corps Volunteers per year who serve in 63 developing countries around the world. She is the longest tenured Peace Corps Director. Peace Corps was established by Congress in 1961 to promote "world peace and friendship" by sending Americans overseas to share their skills and talents with the developing world. Over 120,000 Americans have served in 94 countries in the last 25 years. Peace Corps Volunteers work primarily in education, health, nutrition, agriculture, forestry and rural development. Since assuming office, Mrs. Ruppe has traveled to Central and South America, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific visiting Volunteers, staff and host country government officials. She says she has "the best job in Washington. I get to work for world peace, travel, and everyone thanks me for the work of the V~lunteers . " Leading the agency during its 25th Anniversary year, Mrs. Ruppe is especially proud of its reputation.
