Peace Corps Trainee Group. Howard University. 1962 Last summer the Howard University campus was the scene of the nation s first inter-university consortium for Peace Corps training. Between June 22 and September 7, 1962, Howard University offered special training to nearly one hundred Peace Corps volunteers. These trainees, whose average age was 26 years, and 70 percent of whom were at least college graduates, were being prepared for Peace Corps assignments in Cyprus, and in several West African countries Senegal. Sierra Leone. Togo, and Niger. The Cyprus trainees were being groomed primarily for work in geological mapping and in agricultural adult education. The West African trainees included three mam groups: English teachers, preparing to teach English to French-speaking West Africans; doctors and nurses scheduled for hospital and clinic duties in Togo and in Seirra Leone; and group of expert fishermen who were preparing to assist the Togolese to increase their protein diets by applying commercial fishing methods to the abundant fisheries resources of that country. Training was offered by a staff which numbered over one hundred persons. Students attended classes from 6:30 A M. to 9:30 P.M.. Monday through Friday, and half-a-day on Saturdays. Included in the program were language studies, technical studies, area studies, health and medical training, and physical conditioning. Dr. F.mmett E. Dorsey, chairman of the Department of Government at Howard, was Coordinator for the Project. H. Naylor Firzhugh, Assistant Professor of Business Administration, was Assistant Project Coordinator.
