HSU rises in ranks of colleges sending graduates to the Peace Corps By Kevin L. Hoover 2 HUMBOLDT MAGAZINE | FALL 2009
“HSU may be tucked up there in Northern California, but its graduates have a major impact all around the world.” PHOTOS COURTESY OF RICHARD ENGEL, SEAN MCCARTNEY AND CAROLINA TERCERO MOST REMEMBER THEIR UNIVERSITY years as a time of high energy, major effort and strong ideals. For HSU students going on to the Peace Corps, it doesn’t end there. Even as a career and family plans beckon, fixing the world takes priority. Humboldt State jumped to 14th among medium-sized colleges for Peace Corps service in 2009, from 20th the year before. It’s the highest ranking yet for HSU and means that this year, 25 of Humboldt’s freshest alumni are headed into the program. What’s behind HSU’s Peace Corps connection “We find that HSU students have a real empathy and curiosity for the world,” says Nathan Hale Sargent, public affairs specialist at the corps’ San Francisco office. HSU students also graduate with professional abilities that developing countries can put to good use. “Countries around the world need the skills that students develop at Humboldt State, particularly in forestry and natural resources,” Sargent says. He notes that HSU is proud of and encourages its Peace Corps volunteers, and even offers a graduate school fellowship for returned volunteers. “We prize our relationship with HSU,” Sargent says. “It may be tucked up there in Northern California, but its graduates have a major impact all around the world.” HUMBOLDT STATE UNIVERSITY | humboldt.edu 21
