"In Episode 10 of our "Rutgers Around the World" podcast, Ifrah Akhtar, a 2019 graduate of Rutgers University, discusses her study abroad challenges as a Muslim woman, including being abroad during Ramadan in another country. Her experiences studying abroad inspired Ifrah to develop a resource for other Muslim students seeking a global experience, leading to the creation of her guide called “Muslims Abroad." #RUGlobal

Learn about some of our Peace Corps volunteers from Rutgers University: "Serving with the Peace Corps in Rwanda was an amazing experience. I was able to step outside of my own comfort zone and put my teaching skills to use as an education volunteer. One of the highlights of my service was the back-to-back weeks of youth empowerment camps, with one week for the girls and one week for the boys. Since my service, I’ve continued working to empower students through two different educational organizations back in the states and put my teaching skills to use as an education volunteer. "
--Todd Laudino, PC Rwanda
