Wake Forest University graduate Jessica Jackson will speak at her alma mater Nov. 27 about her work as a Peace Corps volunteer in Uzbekistan.

Jackson joined the Peace Corps after graduating from Wake in May 2000. While in the former Soviet republic, Jackson taught English, started a library to help residents have access to English-language books and coached a baseball team.

The Peace Corps evacuated Jackson and other workers in the Middle East after the Sept. 11 attacks.
