Peace Corps Speaker Series

Kiribati presented by Jennifer Sweatman

Join us Tuesday evenings in February for guest speakers from the Peace Corps who will present about their travels.

The Peace Corps is a service opportunity for motivated changemakers to immerse themselves in a community abroad, working side by side with local leaders to tackle the most pressing challenges of our generation. Peace Corps volunteers lead grassroots efforts to protect the environment and strengthen understanding of environmental issues in communities worldwide. Come and listen to guest speakers share their stories of their travels across the globe. 

This presentation will feature Jenn Sweatman speaking about her time ​serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Republic of Kiribati from 2003-2005. She was assigned to Tamana Island and worked in Margaret Field Primary School as an English Teacher Trainer leading workshops for teachers and co-teaching with them. After completing her service, Jenn went to graduate school where she studied topics in marine science. She is now an assistant professor at Concordia College in the Biology Department and Environmental and Sustainability Studies program.
