Something Wisconsinites can be proud of: "UW-Madison alumni are big on the Peace Corps."
For the second year in a row, Wisconsin's flagship university tops the list of large schools providing volunteers to the Peace Corps, with 85 alumni currently volunteering worldwide.
This is the fourth year UW-Madison has ranked in the top five large universities providing Peace Corps volunteers.
"UW-Madison continues to have a strong and important partnership with the Peace Corps," said Chancellor Rebecca Blank in a university news release on Wednesday.
"For our school to be number one for the second year in a row speaks to this tradition and the commitment of our students to serving others," Blank said.
