Where are they now? Ott alumni are everywhere! When tutors graduate from ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, they go on to all kinds of adventures.

Some Otters who pursue additional education head off to grad school (a random sampling includes...)

  • Master's in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs
  • PhD in Comparative Literature at UNC--Chapel Hill
  • MAPSS program at the University of Chicago
  • M.A. in Library & Information Studies at UW-Madison

Other Otters pursue careers in the healthcare professions: medical school, dental school, PA, PT, speech pathology, and more.  

And others head off to law school at schools including Boston University, Chicago-Kent College of Law, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, St. Louis University, UI-Urbana Champaign, UW-Madison, and University of Minnesota. 

Otters who opt to volunteer have worked with City Year, Teach for America, and Jesuit Volunteer Corps, among other programs.  

Otters have rolled up their sleeves—or fluffed up their forefeet—and gotten down to business in fields and workplaces as varied as ....

  • the Chicago Botanic Garden (Interpretive Programs, where I wrote Garden signage and created interactive programming, Volunteer Services, and Visitor Events!)
  • the death care industry as a funeral/cemetery pre-planning sales counselor--with an entrepreneurial flair
  • a Director of Communication (I use skills I learned working at the Ott every single day!)
  • an Editorial Lead at Google. (I work on content created for Google employees to help them onboard, transfer to new teams within Google, and get help with work visas and immigration. I spend most of my day writing and editing and I’m very grateful for my experience as an Ott tutor)​
  • a PR associate at Mueller Communications in MKE
  • a school psychologist for a school district on Long Island, NY
  • a sports multimedia editor at the Wisconsin State Journal in Madison. ​
  • teaching 6th grade at St. Matthias Parish School
  • I live in NYC and am working on a new imprint from Penguin and Complexly media called Crash Course Books.
