Jonathan Olson, who graduated in June 2007, spent the following year working in East St. Paul as a VISTA volunteer, “helping flesh out the mayor’s ‘second shift’ initiative, doing after school activities for kids. In my free time after work, I’ve been exploring the city by bike, bus, and foot. It’s surprising to find a number of nice bike trails tucked away in this bustling city.”
After his year with VISTA, John has headed to China, where he is teaching English.
