Hiram Larew, director of international programs for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, guest lecturer: “Colleges need to reward faculty and students for international involvement. International work is not deemed particularly sexy but I believe it will soon be viewed as not only sparkly but required. Private enterprise is looking for students with experience and awareness in the international field.”
Karen Holbrook, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost at UGA: “This program is starting in agricultural and environmental sciences, and I hope to see it expand into human sciences.”
Charles Baquet III, deputy director of the Peace Corps: “Many countries have the resources for satisfying hunger but for the distraction of the leadership of these countries. They don’t see the resources. Peace Corps volunteers get to situations like this and see what’s out there. They could be naive enough and courageous enough to make it better. We feel confident receiving your graduates and giving them back to you as professionals.”
