After Katie Browne ’09 graduated from the College with a religious studies degree, she joined the United States Peace Corps for a life-altering experience.

The day I received my Peace Corps invitation, I began (helplessly, subconsciously, but inevitably) forming wild expectations about what life would be like in the great beyond. I told others, “No, no, I have no idea, and I like it that way. I will find out when I get off the plane.” In reality, I researched frantically, and even more frantically began building this alternative world in my mind, trying always to imagine the unimaginable life that awaited me there.

Katie’s photo-essay in the latest College of Charleston Magazine captures her journey in more detail. Take a look for yourself.
