Susan Peacock, a valuable team member for the Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE), will be retiring from her full-time work as of January 31st. Since 2012, Susan has been managing customized study abroad programs in El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and Cuba and she has done an AMAZING job! Since CGEE’s founding, more than 12,000 people have participated in our short-term programs, from hundreds of universities and institutions across the U.S. and Susan has played a significant role in the success of many of those programs. In addition to managing programs, Susan served as the country coordinator of CGEE’s Mexico program from 1987-1991. In the intervening years, she worked at The National Academies’ Committee on Human Rights, the Washington Office on Latin America, The National Security Archive at George Washington University, and the Guatemala Human Rights Commission. At CGEE, she often brought her expertise in peace-building and human rights to bear on the development of programming. We will greatly miss her contributions to our organization and we heartily thank Susan for her many years of commitment to peace and justice work!! Best wishes on the next leg of your journey from all your friends and colleagues at CGEE.
