Its been a long 11 months since I first thought to take a group of amazing residents down to New Orleans for Spring Break. This Alternative Spring Break (ASB) Trip will be like no others, nor is it your typical Spring Break trip, its structured so each of the participants that will be helping to rebuild New Orleans also lives together here at the University of Hartford in Hawk Hall.
Hawk Hall is unlike no other community that we have here on campus, it is designed to help students engage and becoming active members of our Hartford community bridging the academic and student life components. We are essentially creating a ninth community within Hawk Hall to go out and fulfill our mission to be Committed to Community and help others rebuild. This trip is not only being sponsored by the Office of Residential Life but the Center for Community Service. As a co-chaperone with Emma, its going to be an awesome experience to travel with our students to witness them on this amazing journey.
We have been very busy over the past three months fundraising so costs will be kept low for participants. We are extremely grateful for all those that donated money to help support this trip. We are truly fortunate and blessed to have amazing family and friends as well as our University of Hartford community that has supported us along the way.
We are t-minus 5 days from our departure and I think I need to start thinking about packing and the beautiful 70 degree weather!
