<p>U-M contributed more graduating seniors to Teach for America’s 2009 corps than any other school with 10,000 or more undergraduates.</p>

<p>As the highest ranked “large school,” U-M topped such other high-ranked universities as the University of Texas at Austin, Cornell University, and University of California-Berkeley.</p>

<p>“The commitment, passion for public service, and spirit of possibility that U-M grads exhibit make them ideal candidates for Teach for America’s corps,” says Lorraine Anderson, managing director of regional communications for Teach for America.</p>

<p>The 2009 corps consists of 4,100 recent graduates, including 80 from U-M’s graduating class, who will begin teaching in public schools in the fall. Members were selected from 35,000 applicants and held an average GPA of 3.6.

<p>What is Michigan’s #1 employer out of curiosity?</p>
