Noted: Giving evidence that UW-Madison students excel at more than just tweeting and underage drinking, The Peace Corps told the Associated Press that the university ranks as the number eight college source of volunteers in the nation, with 104 Badger alumni currently serving. Historically, UW has always ranked high on the list, producing over 3,000 volunteers in the last 50 years?a number only bested by the University Of California At Berkley. Sure, part of the high enrollment might also have something to do with the fact that many graduate studies programs allow Peace Corps service to count for credit toward a masters or doctorate?but as any philosophy major will explain in excruciatingly excessive detail, there is no such thing as a truly selfless act.
