To Whom it May Concern:

My name is Bob Torvestad.  I started my national service career with VISTA in
the late 60s followed by 5 years with Peace Corps in West Africa (Ghana, Gambia).  
I retired from federal service after serving as financial manager for the three 
AmeriCorps programs.

About this time last year, I began to work with several others to organize the 
Clinton School of Public Service.  It has taken some time but we are now in the 
process of recruiting students for our inaugural class that will enter the 
School in the fall of 2005. 

The Clinton School is located adjacent to the Clinton Presidential Library in 
Little Rock.  We will confer a Master of Public Service (MPS) degree ^Ö the 
first School to offer a degree focused exclusively on individuals interested in 
careers in public service.

As a professional school, we are interested in developing the public service 
leadership skills. 

We hope to have a student body from locations throughout the United States but 
also throughout the world.  This is why I asking for your help to let RPCVs know 
about the School but also individuals from Guinea that you may still be in touch 
with and who might be interested in applying to the School.  Tuition is very 
reasonable and is the same for in-state as well as out-of-state students. 
Scholarships are available based on need and merit.

Let me know if you have any questions.
