Are you interested in working in Asia? Planning what to do after graduation? Do you want to gain valuable international teaching and working experience? If your answer is "YES!," come learn more about Peace Corps volunteer work in Asia OR teaching in Japan as part of the JET (Japan Exchange & Teaching) Program, as well as opportunities in other parts of Asia! You'll meet past program representatives and will hear about their experiences, how to apply, what kinds of applicants each program is looking for, and you can ask whatever questions are on your mind! Free and open to the public. Current program applicants can bring questions, and those considering applying after graduation can come with general concerns and discussion!
