another

I
returned
to
my

 and
I
completed
my
MBA
here
at

I’m
very
happy
to
be
 working
with
such
a
diverse
and
interesting
group
of
people
here
in

 Schoenberg
Center.
I
count
my
years
in
the
Peace
Corps
as
some
of
the
best
years
of
 
 
 my
life
and
I
am
happy
to
be
in
a
position
to
provide
support
for
PCMI
students
 having
their
own
cross‐cultural
and
life‐changing
experiences.
