Director Carol Bellamy presented commemorative plaque at Michigan Union

Nearly 34 years after John F Kennedy announced on Oct. 14, 1960, on the front steps of the Michigan Union, his plan to form the Peace Corps, Corps Director Carol Bellamy (left) presented a commemorative plaque to the University. On Oct. 12, President James J. Duderstadt and Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen A. Hartford received the plaque, which will be displayed at the Union entrance. With 82 volunteers currently overseas in 50 countries, and 1,100 Corps veterans, including Duderstadt's daughter Kathy, who is now a U-M graduate student, the University is ranked second in the nation for the number of students who have been accepted as Corps volunteers.
