PEACE From Page lA Peace Corps volunteers have a huge advantage." The top schools in each cat- egory - small, medium and large colleges - came from the state of Washington, a unique result in the history of the rankings. Schools with significant Peace Corps involvement often have similar programs or teaching phi- losophies, Hessler-Radelet said. Mackenzie Knowling, a Peace Corps recruiter at the University, manages the Peace Corps Office in the International Center where interested students can get infor- mationaboutpossibleopportunities and application procedures. The University currently has volunteers in 43 countries, Knowling said. i"The Universityof Michigan has alot of activist students,"Knowling said. "People are looking to con- tinue their work in social justice or social policy and the Peace Corps is EQUALITY J 1L] From Page lA said those with the undocumented status straddle the line "uncom- fortably between experiences of belonging and illegality." He said the DREAM act, a legislative act which allows youngundocumented immigrants a stay of deportation, creates a "second-class" citizenship. OR ."The DREAM act was first introduced in 2001 and many of inline the first intended beneficiaries of the act have aged out of eligibili- ty," Gonzalez said. "Many of these young people have been waiting and waiting and waiting while Congress debates their futures." "Dreams deferred" was the overarching theme of Gonzalez's talk, part of the MLK symposium, as he stressed that out of 11.1 mil- lion undocumented immigrants, 2.1 million have been here since childhood. Despite their Ameri- canized upbringing, these students lack access to the same opportuni- ties as their American-born peers by the time they finish high school. "While our laws treat children and adults differently, they don't account for the continuity of chil- by dren becoming adults," Gonzalez said. "These young people are very L .,J...L..J...L.-.It........U.J1 - I t I U - J - I f 11it- _...- L ..,..

Gonzalez discussed his exten- sive multi-state research studying undocumented children moving from "spaces of belongingto rejec- tion, from inclusion to exclusion." Although these children grew up pledging allegiance to the Ameri- can flag and using American slang during their K-12 education, they eventually hit a wall when their immigration status becomes the most salient part of their identity. Gonzalez quoted many of the undocumented students he inter- viewed throughout his presenta- tion, including one young man, Rudy, who started feeling out of place when he graduated high school and realized he didn't have the social security number required of many job applications. Ultimately, Gonzalez wanted to shed light on these undocument- ed students who are somewhere in-between, and point out the deficiencies in the United State's immigration policy, which is fail- ing young people who feel like American citizens but lack the paperwork to back it up. Gonzalez .also discussed the agreatwayto (dothat)." Knowling said she believes the Peace Corps provides not only job experience,but also ameans for stu- dentsto explore new interests while serving in avolunteer setting. "I think a lot of people do seek out the Peace Corps as a way .to jumpstart their career, butI think that some people see the Peace Corps as something they are really passionate about," Knowling said. "It doesn't really pertain to their career path in the future I think, though, the skills that they learn in the Peace Corps definitely help them out in (any) career path." Experiences in the Peace Corps are often challenging for students, providing them with a variety of skills and experiences to use after their involvement in the organization, Knowling said. "I think the experience and learning how to work in difficult situations with limited resources - working with people who are extremely different, who may not speak the same language as you, being resourceful, being proxi- mal, being patient ... all serve you really well in whatever career path you choose to do after the Peace Corps," Knowling said. For students interested in applying, Knowling recommend- ed applying nine to 12 months in advance. The University holds monthly information sessions for students to learn more about pos- sible programs. The University has a strong historical connection to the Peace Corps, originating with an address by John F. Kennedy in 1960 at the University, calling for the forma- tionof such an organization. "Alot of students feel aconnec- tion to the Peace Corps because of the history here at the University of Michigan," Knowling said. "It is a unique situation here with JFK's history - standing on the steps of the Union, proclaiming the Peace Corps at 2 a.m. - so I think, (for) a lot of students ... it's one of the reasons they know about the Peace Corps here." e pivotal role of the "underground railroad" of teachers who shep- herd undocumented students into college by mentoring them and assisting undocumented students in finding ways to pay for college without the help of federal aid. Public Policy senior Kevin Mersol-Barg, a Daily columnist and the founder of the Coalition for Tuition Equality, which had a booth set up at the event, noted that Gonzalez stressed that plac- es of education should serve as inclusive spaces and believes the University is closing off the very population that Gonzalez spoke about since these instate students cannot apply for federal finan- cial aid or loans. CTE is a student organization that is dedicated td achieving in-state tuition rates for undocumented students who were raised in Michigan. "Professor Gonzalez said that institutions of higher education like the University of Michigan have a role to play to make society more inclusive for undocument- ed students," Mersol-Barg said. "Unfortunately, the Coalition for Tuition Equality believes that its really not living up to the poten- tial that it could in terms of really providing more opportunities and inclusivity." 4
