Benaissa, an international student from Morocco, wants to continue her study-abroad experience by attending graduate school in London. A communication studies and international relations major, she hopes to return to Morocco someday to participate in the country’s social and political reform. “My plan is to return to my country in order to translate a vision of development into reality,” she says. “I’d like Morocco to develop on a path of course to a more civil society.”  (3:12)

Veth, who studies film and anthropology, has been accepted into Teach for America and will be working in New York City next year. A development manager at the Community Service Center, he has worked with inner-city children in CSC’s children’s theater program. Veth says he is eager to tackle the challenges of New York’s public school system. “I love college,” he says, “but I’m just so excited to take that next step.” (3:04)

Badiner’s academic interests include security studies and nuclear proliferation; he hopes to use his international relations major and journalism minor to write for a policy journal next year. Eventually, he says, he might like to work for a government agency. “No matter what, I want to be making a contribution in some sort of substantial way,” he says. “I want to participate in the American process.” (3:00)
