Hobart and William Smith Colleges will open its 2010-2011 academic year by celebrating the power of an idea. Aaron S. Williams, the eighteenth Director of the Peace Corps, will be this year's Convocation speaker. The Peace Corps, celebrating its 50th anniversary, traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then-Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that one idea grew a federal government agency devoted to world peace. Convocation will take place Wednesday, September 1, at 5 p.m. on the Stern Lawn.
"During my tenure as Director of the Peace Corps, I was struck by the power of the idea for the agency: send Americans in peace and friendship to needy countries around the world," says Hobart and William Smith President Mark D. Gearan, who served as Director of the Peace Corps from 1995-1999. "From that fairly simple concept evolved some of the very best spirit and international development work of our country."
