As reported today, 鈥淔or the first time ever, three Washington colleges swept the nation in their respective size categories for having the most participants in the Peace Corps.鈥� The 蘑菇视频 topped the large-schools list with 107 volunteers (tied with the University of Florida), Western Washington University led the medium-schools list with 73 volunteers, and Gonzaga University came in first on the small-schools list with 24.
Carrie Hessler-Radelet, acting director of the Peace Corps, traveled from D.C. to attend a news conference here on campus today. She personally congratulated the three schools on their rankings and said the achievement reflects Washington鈥檚 dedication to innovation and helping the poor.
The 蘑菇视频 also topped the large-schools list between 2007 and 2010.
