 —  Alternative Spring Break

Do Something Different for Spring Break

Thinking about your next Spring Break?
Consider an "alternative" spring break. Instead of working on your tan, or spending the week at home getting bored, head off to a different locale and gain a better understanding of yourself and your capacity for helping others, and make new friends along the way! People out there need your help and you can give it. So get out and get excited; there are people yet to know, places yet to see, and help yet to give!

If admitted to IU prior to Fall, 2005, please note that volunteer work outside of Monroe County will not earn credit toward the General Honors Notation.
