Introduction, Significance of the Study and Objectives ‘The International Studies (IS) department of Maryknoll/Miriam College was established in 1970. It remains as one the largest academic courses in the college with a current student population of 350 students. Each year the IS department graduates approximately 70-80 students.

It would also seek to identify the level of social involvement of IS alumnae, and the satisfaction social involvement provides in their lives.

Whats the level of subjective well-being of IS alumnae? 2. What are the factors that correlate with the subjective well-being of IS alumnae? a. Which individual positives correlate with subjective well-being? b.
