Join us for a casual meet and greet with University of Michigan alum and currently serving Peace Corps Volunteer, Alena Honig! Alena will join us virtually from North Macedonia.
Alena Honig graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023 with a B.S. in Architecture and a B.A. in International Studies. A few months after graduating, she began her journey with the Peace Corps in North Macedonia. Currently, Alena is halfway through her service as an English and Inclusive Education volunteer. She co-teaches at a primary school located in a small, predominantly Albanian village in the western region of the country. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Alena collaborates with a local educational platform focused on educating and empowering youth through the lens of gender equality, using free educational resources. Throughout her service, she has developed a love for hiking in the stunning mountains of North Macedonia, a taste for traditional dishes, and a fondness for the stray cats in her village.
Location Notes: If you are joining us in-person, we will provide lunch. If you'll be joining us virtually, please type "Virtual" as the response to the dietary preference question so that we know who is joining virtually.
