Spend your spring break giving back. 

The Alternative Spring Break program is an opportunity to explore complex social and cultural issues through community visits, experiential learning, direct service, group discussion, readings, and reflection activities. 

Contact Jammie Clark if you are interested or have questions about Alternative Spring Break. 

Cost

Student Affairs works hard to receive grants for Alternative Spring Break trips. Students in the past have been asked to contribute up to $900. Fundraising opportunities are available to help offset the student's portion of the cost.
