By combining service with academic and professional development our students can find a special meaning and purpose in their university experience that is often transformative for them, as well as the people they have served.

These alternative spring break experiences of students bring to mind the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35-40, “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. ... Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers, you did for me.”
