Houghton, Michigan – December 2, 2015 – Michigan Technological University has a worldwide footprint. Take Cole Bedford, a Peace Corps Master’s International (PCMI) program graduate student in civil engineering at Michigan Tech, now serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Kyrgyz Republic.
The Kyrgyz Republic, unofficially known as Kyrgyzstan, is located in Central Asia. It bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the southwest and China to the east.
It’s not where Bedford had imagined himself serving. “I was originally pretty disappointed by the concessions I felt I would be making by accepting a post here, but now that I’ve been in Kyrgyz Republic for six months — having experienced the generosity and enthusiasm of the people, the richness of the culture, and the awesomeness of the landscapes — there’s nowhere I’d rather be.”
