Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – We just announced our fifth and largest class, which will begin at the Clinton School this fall. The 36 students represent 17 states and 5 countries.
From doing clean-up work in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, organizing a major film festival and promoting education for poor children in Honduras to working with organizations such as AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, Teach for America and Habitat for Humanity, the class brings a wide array of previous service experience to the Clinton School.
“On paper and in person, this is really a tremendous class,” said Clinton School Dean Skip Rutherford. “They’ve already done some outstanding things, and we’re looking forward to getting them here in the fall and following their Clinton School careers.”
Applications to the Clinton School were up more than 50 percent from 2008, said Alex Thomas, director of Admissions at the Clinton School. The class will be the largest in the school’s five-year history after starting with 16 students in the fall of 2005. Including the current class, the school will have a total of 66 students enrolled this fall.
“We’re excited about our growth and thrilled about the quality of students that are interested in our program,” Rutherford said. “Alex Thomas and our admissions committee have done an outstanding job.”
