Alternative Breaks

Forget Cancun... Skip the Bahamas... Take an Alternative Break

Spend your time off doing some good in the world through an Alternative Spring or Fall Break trip. For more than 15 years, our students have made positive impacts worldwide by aiding those dealing with hunger, homelessness, and disabilities. Students have rescued endangered animals, promoted environmental stewardship, and even assisted in the resettlement of refugees. While memories of fun in the sun may fade with time, the impact of an alternative break experience can be more than just memorable, it can be life-changing.

Unique Learning Opportunities

TAKE LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Learning takes on meaning through reflection. That is the theory behind our Learning Beyond the Classroom program. This General Education Requirement enables you to apply the theories and concepts learned in the classroom to the athletic field, the workplace, the community, and across the campus.

 

BE AT THE OFFICE FOR STUDENT VOLUNTEERISM

If you are passionate about using your education for the greater good, you can make a difference through the Office for Student Volunteerism. Through direct service, education and reflection, you'll gain an appreciation for the importance of civic responsibility and explore ways in which you can become an active citizen.
