Alternative Spring Break
One of the most exciting programs offered by the Office of Spiritual Life is the Alternative Spring Break. Offered during the first week of our annual Spring Break, the Alternative Spring Break has two goals:
-
make a tremendous impact in the world through simple acts of charity, goodwill and justice.
-
provide urban and international experiences for Heidelberg students so that they are better prepared to be socially conscious citizens of the world.
The 2008 Trip is scheduled for New York City. Look for more information on how you can participate in the Alternative Spring Break all throughout Fall Semester 2007.
