Alternative Breaks Alternative Breaks is now accepting applications for winter and spring break participants! Alternative Breaks is a program that allows students to go on week-long trips to different communities throughout the state (and in Mississippi this spring) to do much-needed service surrounding specific social issues such as homelessness, poverty, environmental justice, immigration, healthcare, and more. This is a great opportunity to learn more about important social issues, build leadership skills, meet great people, get units (for spring breaks), and really make a positive difference in the world. We will be holding two info sessions on Tuesday 10/25 and Wednesday 10/26 both at 7:30pm in 505 Eshelman Hall. Come out to learn more, meet this year's break leaders, and get FREE cookies!
