Students can take many routes after graduation. While some may have jobs and internships lined up, others have taken up living among some of the most underprivileged neighborhoods of the nation.
Baylor 2010 graduate Juliet Brown decided to dedicate a year to serving an inner-city neighborhood in Chicago through a program called Mission Year.
Ashely Nienaber, a Mission Year recruiter, described the program as a year-long urban volunteer program that sends young people to live and serve in inner cities of the U.S.
"I believe that Jesus made it pretty clear in the Gospels that we are called to love the poor, and I don't think we were given that calling because that's what were supposed to do as good Christians. I really believe that command was given to us for our own good. I believe that God's heart is closest to the poor and the disadvantaged."
