Alternative Spring Break

Alternative Spring Break allows students the opportunity to participate in community service during spring break. In spring 2008, students and colleagues spread out across the country to help those in need: hurricane rebuilding efforts in Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana; home repair for the elderly or handicapped in Mt. Pleasant South Carolina; tutoring immigrants in Burnsville, North Carolina; working with the homeless and immigrants in Los Angeles; working at a women's center in Anthony, New Mexico.

Peace And Justice Residence Floor

The Peace and Justice Residence Floor is an intentional community of students committed to volunteer service, community living and shared spiritual development; it is open to those of all faith-backgrounds.
