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,

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
Congratulations to our IIC, Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Leaders!
