The Feb. 1 deadline is approaching to apply for one of the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning’s (CCEL) March or May Alternative Breaks.

CCEL will host three Alternative Breaks this spring semester to give undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to spend a week in service and learn about a new community issue during their school break.
