Apply for an Alternative Spring Break Trip Now!

by Craig Berger

Spring Break may seem distant, but now is the time to register for a group experience that will inspire and forever change you.  

UMBC is sponsoring four profound learning adventures during the break (starting Sunday, March 19th through Friday, March 24th, 2017): Opportunities to connect with other UMBC students, make meaningful community contributions and become deeply engaged in addressing important social issues.

Most of these Alternative Spring Break trips will take place in and around Baltimore, will have a $75 participation cost and will involve lodging on campus with your co-participants. The exception is the Gesundheit trip which is on-site in West Virginia and the cost to participate will start at around 350 dollars. All of the trips will be fundraised for and the cost will likely be significantly lower than the participation costs mentioned above. Here are the different trip options:

• Gesundheit! Institute Trip: delves into alternative healthcare systems
• Homelessness Trip: works to eliminates stigma related to homelessness
• Public Health Trip: focuses on healthcare inequities
• Seeing Baltimore: discover your place in addressing social justice issues

The application is due on Sunday, November 6th at midnight, and trips will fill up quickly, so don't delay completing the application!

If you have any questions, you can email umbcserves@umbc.edu.
