Hurricane Relief Efforts, Chalmette, La.

Alma students helping with Hurricane Katrina cleanup are participating through the National Relief Network (NRN), a Greenville, Mich., organization committed to bringing large numbers of volunteers to state and federally declared disaster areas for the purpose of helping families in their efforts to rebuild homes, communities and lives. NRN administration of volunteer relief programs for various organizations makes it possible for groups to lend a helping hand when they do not have the necessary resources or access to an organized group relief effort.

Alma’s off-campus study programs do more than place students in exciting locales to meet interesting people; they also create new opportunities for personal growth and skill development. One of the best ways to learn about other societies and cultures is to study and travel in international settings. You do not always have to know a foreign language.
