Peace Corps Fellows Program

 

The MFA Program at GCSU is the only graduate creative writing program in the country to participate in the Peace Corps Fellows Program. Peace Corps Fellows who are accepted to participating graduate programs in their field are awarded fellowships that relate to their experience and training in the Peace Corps. Upon successful completion of their Peace Corps Volunteer assignment, Peace Corps Fellows can apply to the GCSU MFA Program (the application process is the same as for all applicants, but see the Peace Corps web site for more information about eligibility requirements).

John Teschner (MFA 2010) is GCSU’s first Peace Corps Fellow (pictured here, far right). You can read on-line his article “Out of Africa” in the GCSU International Education Center newsletter “Terra Nostra” (fall 2007 issue, page four). John was a Peace Volunteer from 2003-2005, serving in Kajiado, Kenya.

 

 

 

Peace Corps Fellows help to organize and mentor the Georgia College Early College Creative Writing project. “Early College” is a public school housed at the GCSU campus, serving students from Baldwin and Putnam counties. GCSU undergraduate majors, under the supervision of MFA students and faculty, mentor seventh graders in the Early College program and help them to publish a literary journal called The Peacock’s Feather.
