STARRC alumna to join the Peace Corps

Former STARRC undergraduate research assistant Diana Ishimwe was selected for a position in the Peace Corps. She will be stationed in the West African country of Benin. Diana's interests are in understanding posttraumatic stress disorder in children from war torn countries or who have found shelter in refugee camps before moving out of the country. She is interested in studying the effect of PTSD in children’s family dynamics and on the forming of relationships. Congratulations to Diana on her achievement. We wish you the best of luck during your service!
