WILMINGTON — From the application process to returning home after two years abroad, the new exhibit at the Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center at Wilmington College explores what it is like to serve with the Peace Corps.

“Peace Corps: 50 Years of Service, Bringing the World Home” is running through May 27 with normal gallery hours weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and special Saturday hours Jan. 23, Feb. 27, March 19, April 30 and May 21, from noon to 5 p.m. The exhibit will be closed March 10, 11 and 25.

The Peace Corps exhibit covers everything from where volunteers live to what they eat and what they do.

QHC curator Ruth Brindle said the exhibit’s “images and first-person stories bring the Peace Crops experience to life.” She added that the event, like all QHC exhibits, strives to connect the Wilmington College student experience with the wider world of Friends and Quakerism, while specifically reflecting WC’s Quaker-inspired values of community, diversity, peace and social justice, and service and civic engagement.

Special complementary programming also will be held throughout the semester.
