Gilbert ASU graduate takes sustainability mission to Peace Corps

For Thomas Hancock-Bacon, a path that began in Gilbert classrooms and a high school agriculture course is about to take him more than 2,000 miles away to the Caribbean.

This fall, the Arizona State University graduate will leave for Jamaica, where he will spend two years as a Peace Corps volunteer helping support sustainable agriculture projects.

It is the next step in a journey that has taken him from Mesquite High School to leadership roles at ASU and now toward a career focused on sustainable development.
