IIC Peace Corps Leadership



Happy Week 3!

As the first quarter continues to roll on, a couple of first year IIC students have taken on leadership roles in the University of Denver’s Peace Corps Community (DUPCC).  Our very own David Boggs has taken on the position of DUPCC President and Jennifer Murphy is the new VP of Communications and Public Relations.  David and Jennifer are both elated to be leading the DUPCC and have provided the following words:


“Hello everyone! It's that exciting time of year again as we all settle into our routines here at DU, and I am happy to announce my recent induction as President of the DU Peace Corps Community. We also have a great new committee of VP's that will be assisting in organizing events and activities throughout campus and the Denver community. During the year, DUPCC traditionally holds fundraisers to help assist local causes and international charities. We also coordinate functions to help promote Peace Corps' 3rd Goal of "helping Americans better understand the people and cultures of other countries," as well as further relating our services abroad as volunteers. This year we're kicking off with a bang as we launch into plans to help the recovery efforts for the floods that hit the Boulder community. To learn more about us and keep up with events, visit our page at http://www.du.edu/peacecorps. For more information about the U.S. Peace Corps visit http://www.peacecorps.gov. Best wishes to everyone as we start off this quarter! We're all looking forward to a great year!”

“I am excited at the proposition of working with people who have or will devote at least two years of their life to service work. I hope our group will be able to do some amazing things in the community and network with other organizations who are working on awesome projects as well. I look forward to getting the word out about what the group is involved in through the website and Facebook pages as the VP of Communications and Public Relations.”
-Jennifer Murphy
