The University of Minnesota is a leader in producing Peace Corps volunteers. It’s tied for fifth in the nation for its number of graduate alumni volunteers and 10th for undergraduates — up 10 spots from last year.
Thirteen graduate and 57 undergraduate University alumni are currently volunteering throughout the world.
Learning Abroad Center Director Martha Johnson said the school’s alumni have a strong presence in the Peace Corps because of the University’s extensive outreach and informational resources.
