Howard University News February 11, 2014 Howard Ranks on Peace Corps Top College List This year, Howard University ranked as a leading producer of Peace Corp volunteers. The achievement marks the first time that a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) has been ranked on the annual top volunteer-producing universities list. The DNA of the Peace Corps is service," said Interim President Wayne A.I. Frederick. "Howard's motto is Veritas et Utilitas 'Truth and Service' so this accolade really emphasizes the commitment of Howard students and alumni to service." Howard University has consistently ranked No. 1 on the Peace Corps' HBCU list, but achieved a top rank among medium-sized colleges and universities for the first time this year. Since the Peace Corps was established in 1961, more than 210 Howard graduates have traveled abroad to serve as volunteers. The list ranks institutions by number of alumni serving as volunteers overseas. Howard currently has 18 alumni serving as Peace Corps volunteers. SANDRA M.
