Culp said volunteers may assist a country in fields such as education, agriculture, youth development, health care and many others.
"We were invited to come to International Week because we believe in getting Americans more educated about the rest of the world," Culp said. "We're not a study abroad program but in a lot of ways people are gaining a ton of life experience."
She said the Peace Corps has three main goals: to provide assistance to developing countries, to teach local communities about the United States and to learn about other cultures and brining that experience back to the U.S.
Senior Dennison Que, an international business major and member of AIESEC, said that his club offers internships on top of traveling opportunities.
"This is the best opportunity to improve your resume with our professional network," Que said. "The world is integrating globally so international experience is what the employers of tomorrow are looking for."
International Week events will continue on Wednesday at noon in Room 202 of the Boccardo Business Center with a workshop for international students entitled Successful Job Search in the USA.
On Thursday at 3 p.m. a discussion will be held in BBC 4 to discuss the possibilities for international students beyond practical training.
The week concludes on Friday at noon with an international quiz game. Teams of four-to-eight players will compete against each other in the University Room answering worldly trivia.
