What are Miami students doing after they graduate? Alumni report doing a variety of things after their time at Miami, including 43 students now working for the Peace Corps! This number places Miami 4th on the top 25 list for amount of students serving from medium-sized colleges and universities. In 2009, Miami placed 7th, and our increase in student volunteerism within the program has upped our ranking! If you’re not familiar with the Peace Corps, it is a nonprofit volunteer organization that hires young adults to live in various parts of the world to promote international development related to education, agriculture, environment, or business, just to name a few.
The Peace Corps volunteer population is quickly growing, and in the past 48 years, 825 Miami alumni have participated in the program. Miami is holding a Spring Career Fair on February 16 to showcase opportunities for Miamians after graduation. The Peace Corps will be present to recruit even more volunteers at 6:00pm on February 17. This is just one of many organizations invited to participate in the Spring Career Fair, where students can see the myriad of possibilies for life after Miami!
