In 2011, the university placed No. 1 among small schools or institutions with less than 5,000 undergraduates, with 32 alumni serving in the Peace Corps. In 2010, UMW ranked No. 2 in the same category, with 23 alumni volunteering for the Peace Corps.<\/p>\n<p>In all, 245 Mary Washington alumni have served the 27-month commitment around the world since the Peace Corps\u2019 inception in 1961.<\/p>\n<p>The Peace Corps ranks its top volunteer-producing schools annually according to the size of the student body. The rankings are calculated based on fiscal year 2011 data as of September 30, 2011, as self-reported by Peace Corps volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Peace Corps is actively and successfully engaged in 76 countries, and our successes, both this year and during the last five decades, are directly attributable to the outstanding support we have received from the University of Mary Washington,\u201d said Peace Corps Director Aaron S. Williams in a letter to President Hurley. \u201cThese volunteers are applying the skills and knowledge they acquired during their time at the University of Mary Washington to help improve the lives of people across the globe. They are making important contributions to grass-roots projects in agriculture, education, the environment, health and HIV\/AIDS education and prevention, small business development, and youth development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Marr \u201811 is following that Peace Corps tradition. He received notice today that he will leave for Benin, Africa.<\/p>\n<p>An English major and French minor, Marr was active in global service at UMW. In 2009, he traveled to Honduras with the Students Helping Honduras.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Peace Corps always has been in the back of my brain since I was a freshman,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s probably one of the most exciting things I\u2019ve ever had to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since its founding, more than 200,000 volunteers have helped promote a better understanding between Americans and the 139 countries where volunteers have served. Volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second year in a row, the Peace Corps has ranked the University of Mary Washington No. 1 in the nation among small universities for alumni now serving as Peace Corps volunteers.
