During Alma's Winter Term break, students participating in the five service trips are delivering daily updates on their experiences from Feb. 26-March 5. To see what each trip accomplishes, visit the trip links during the week.
More than 100 Alma College students and staff traveled to destinations in New Mexico, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Louisiana and North Carolina for service projects during winter break in February 2007. “Alternative Break service experiences continue to gain popularity on Alma College’s campus,” says Sallie Scheide, assistant director in the Center for Responsible Leadership.

While most international students are here for one year, some stay for four years and earn an Alma degree. These students have the opportunity to get involved in student life taking on positions of leadership and enjoying a well-balanced social life.
