Trip Reflections

Day One

    Sunday morning, half awake, bodies frozen, we crammed into an Alma van and headed to the Lansing train station. Our destination: Hostell International, Chicago,IL. We were all anxious with anticiation of a week in the Windy City and time spent in Englewood at the PEACE Community Center. Our Amtrack train ride entailed four hours of laughter, introductions, and super-duper bonding. After settling into the Hostel, we ventured into the city to find some authentic Chicago grubb (Mmmmm, Chicago Deep Dish !!!). It was nice to relax and acclimate ourselves to the city before an intense week of service.

 

Alma is one of seven Michigan colleges and universities to hold membership in the Omicron Delta Kappa Society, the national leadership society that recognizes and encourages superior scholarship, leadership and exemplary character. The College also has 19 other national departmental honor societies.
