The Peace Corps sends Americans with a passion for service abroad on behalf of the United States to work with communities and create lasting change. Volunteers develop sustainable solutions to address challenges in education, health, community economic development, agriculture, the environment and youth development.

Through their Peace Corps experience, volunteers gain a unique cultural understanding and a life-long commitment to service that positions them to succeed in today’s global economy.

Since President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961, more than 240,000 Americans of all ages have served in over 160 countries worldwide.

As a Volunteer, you immerse yourself in a new experience — building relationships, exchanging cultures and knowledge, and helping transform lives for generations.

Women Who Make a Difference 2025 Nominations Are Open Anastasia Gall… Mon, 11/03/2025 - 11:54

Since 2000, the Women Who Make a Difference program has honored women who are impacting our �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder community. Each fall, we accept nominations from the campus community for women to honor and awards are presented at a celebration of the nominees with their nominators.

Each October, The Center (for Cultural Connections & Community) invites �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder students, staff, and faculty to nominate marvelous women in our community including advocates, colleagues, friends, grandmothers, mothers, storytellers or any woman who has impacted your life in a positive way. While nominators must be affiliated with �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder, nominees can be members of the wider community. The most fun thing: because the goal of this award is to recognize more women for all their contributions to our campus, the program honors all women who are nominated!*.

The recognition ceremony and reception will be held on the evening of Wednesday, December 3rd. The Center staff will share the time and location privately with honorees and nominators after the call for nominations period closes.

*One woman may be nominated by multiple people or teams of people, AND we limit nominations to one per �鶹��Ѱ��community member. Women who were honored in 2023 or 2024 are not eligible to be recognized in 2025, and Center staff will contact you if this is the case.

The nomination form for Women Who Make a Difference 2025 is now open and can be found here: /culturalconnections/women-who-make-difference

Nominations must be submitted by Wednesday, November 3rd at 5pm.

Under her leadership, the company has become a powerhouse in independent production, with projects regularly earning Academy Award and Tony nominations.
