Alternative Fall Break Mission

Due to the Gulf Oil Spill, the U.S. is facing its largest environmental catastrophe ever. Unfortunately, what we have learned about the scale and reality of the oil spill and its impact has been minimal. The goal of AFB 2010 is to provide Shippensburg University students, faculty, and staff opportunities to serve gulf coast communities while learning first-hand how the region has struggled in the wake of recent hurricanes and the the oil spill. This blog is dedicated to our efforts to share what we learn.

We are a go!

We are very excited to announce that AFB 2010 has successfully raised the necessary funds to ensure our service-learning experience in support of Gulf Coast Relief. We will be taking some 57 students, faculty, and staff to coastal Mississippi from October 7 through October 12, 2010. All participants will not only learn and serve while in the communities in southern Mississippi, but they will also bring what they have learned back to Pennsylvania where we can share our experiences with the world.

Use this forum to share your experiences with each other and the world!
