<p>The Peace Corps lists the colleges and universities that produced the most Peace Corps Volunteers, stats as of Sept. 30, 2007, schools >15,000:</p>
<p>1 University of Washington 113</p>
<p>2 University of Wisconsin-Madison 99</p>
<p>3 University of Colorado at Boulder 94 </p>
<p>But UW still leads Udub in total volunteers by around 300.</p>
<p>of course then we need to correct for size: 27K (Seattle) vs. 29K (Madison).
Let's call it a tie - and a good one.</p>
<p>Lots of Birkenstock wearers at both! ;)</p>
<p>oh mini- we don't wear Birkenstocks in Seattle, they don't even sell them at REI anymore ( although you may get some of soc profs who still wear them but I see Pepper in knee high leather boots not dorky sandals)
but it is interesting that of the students I have known who have been at UW, most have gone into the Peace Corps or something similar ( I think they want a different climate) ;)</p>
<p>We are a little behind down here....:)</p>
<p>well yah- when we went to Olympia to tour Evergreen many years ago- our hotel didn't even have espresso!!!! :eek:!</p>
<p>But we have Batdorf & Bronson, which is probably why folks don't leave to join the Peace Corps. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I don't know, EK, I still see a fair number of iconoclastic, beard-growing Birkenstock-and-wool-socks types around. It's not exactly mainstream, though.</p>
<p>Born on November 23, 1945, to James E. Doyle Sr. and Ruth Bachhuber Doyle, Governor Doyle and his three sisters grew up in Madison. Governor Doyle is married to Jessica Laird Doyle and they have two adult sons, Gus and Gabe.
Governor Doyle’s parents were founding members of the modern Democratic Party in Wisconsin and he credits them for instilling in him the belief that politics and government are honorable professions, and that public service is a way to improve people’s lives. </p>
<p>Governor Doyle attended Stanford University for three years, then finished his senior year at UW-Madison. He is a 1972 graduate of Harvard Law School.
Inspired by John F. Kennedy’s call to public service, after college the Governor and First Lady worked for two years as teachers in Tunisia, Africa in the Peace Corps. After he graduated from law school, the Governor and First Lady moved to the Navajo Indian Reservation in Chinle, Arizona to work as an attorney and teacher, respectively. </p>
<p>In 1976, Governor Doyle was elected Dane County District Attorney and served three terms from 1977-82. When he left that office, he spent eight years building his own private law practice until he was elected Wisconsin Attorney General in 1990. Governor Doyle was reelected as Attorney General in 1994 and 1998.</p>
<p>He was elected as Wisconsin’s Governor in 2002 and reelected in 2006 with more votes than any candidate for Governor in Wisconsin history.</p>
