When deciding what paths to take after graduation, Cornell students continue to look towards service opportunities — as evidenced by the record number of applicants to Teach For America and the high volume of Peace Corps members. This year, the University ranked fourth among mid-sized universities for its number of Peace Corps volunteers.

225 Cornell students applied to TFA, representing the highest number of applications that the organization has ever received from Cornell. According to Lisa Peace Corps Volunteers at CornellPeace Corps Volunteers at CornellKrauthamer, Cornell’s Teach For America recruitment director, 24 Cornellians have been accepted into TFA so far, and many more are waiting to hear back.
