UW-Madison is hosting Peace Corps and Africa, an event to honor Wisconsin’s 50-year involvement in Peace Corps, from March 24 to 26, 2011. Hosted by the African Studies Program, the gathering will bring musicians, artists, story-tellers and thinkers to campus to celebrate, reflect and debate on the legacy of Peace Corps in Africa. Both former volunteers and a wide spectrum of participants with ties to Africa are planning to reinvigorate their connections to the Africa-focused community. Among other highlights, NPR’s StoryCorps will be recording volunteer stories. More information at africa.wisc.edu/peacecorps
