Although many of this year’s graduates don’t have long-term plans laid out, many grads will be busy this upcoming year. From law school to volunteering, internships to careers, here’s a sample of what some MSU alumni are planning to do this summer and beyond.

“I have to get some downtime in before I continue the path of my poli-sci pre-law degree and head to the University of Illinois for law school.”

Dave Allen

“I don’t know what I’m doing after the summer. I have a job in Haslett for the summer. I’m in the Peace Corps.”

Brad McDonald

“I applied for master’s programs all around the United States. I also have Asian studies as a specialization.”

Alyse Vollmer

“I am heading down to Tijuana, (Mexico) for six weeks to work in a women’s shelter there. It’s called Deborah’s House — I volunteer there.”

J.D. DeFour
