UTEP's Ms. Vanessa Juarez:

"Student finds a career abroad"


Adapted from The UTEP Prospector, September 16, 2008.

"When Luis Macias graduated from UTEP in 2005, he had no idea that three years later he would find himself serving as Peace Corps volunteer in a small town four hours outside of Shymkent, Kazakhstan.

"Macias, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in Spanish, has been living and teahcing in Kazakhstan for two years.

"Macias decided to join the Peace Corps as a volunteer when he learned about the program from a colleague who had also been a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa..."

A good read, Vanessa...!
