Berkshire Community College announces the addition of Roger Corriveau as Director of International Student Services. Corriveau joined the college on February 1st and brings with him extensive professional experience in international education administration and management.
Areas of expertise include training, cross-cultural programming, international student and scholar services, study abroad programs and faculty exchanges.
At BCC, Corriveau will be responsible for the supervision of the federally funded international student program sponsored by Georgetown University including budget development and administration, housing coordination, social and educational programming and personal and academic student development.
He received a Bachelor's of Arts in 1974 from Bridgwater State College, in Bridgewater, Mass., and in 1976 he joined the Peace Corps where he spent two years in Chad, Africa, as a teacher.
He also received a Master's of Science in Secondary Education (English) in 1980 from the College of Staten Island/CUNY, New York, where he also spent more than 12 years as an educator and administrator. There he created and managed student and faculty services at the Center for International Service as the Assistant Director. The Center served more than 500 international students and scholars through study abroad programs.
Corriveau who currently lives in Kinderhook, N.Y., has been a guest speaker and facilitator at the regional and national level on subjects ranging from "Setting you a FSA Office" to "The World in Balance: A Health Orientation for New Foreign Students," "International Students AIDS Education Project," and more.
He has traveled extensively to such places as Cameroon, Chad, Canada, France, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.

| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005. |
| Our debt to Bill Moyers Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia." |
| Is Gaddi Leaving? Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors. |
| The Birth of the Peace Corps UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. |
| Charges possible in 1976 PCV slaying Congressman Norm Dicks has asked the U.S. attorney in Seattle to consider pursuing charges against Dennis Priven, the man accused of killing Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner on the South Pacific island of Tonga 28 years ago.
