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.

Bus will arrive back in Ship this afternoon!

The bus is due back to Ship this afternoon. I know the crew will be tired after the all-night ride, but the trip was fantastic and rewarding. The students worked so incredibly hard and made a strong impression on the local community. The whole university should be proud of how they represented Shippensburg! Some of the experiences we had were quite intense and will take some time to process, so I anticipate some wonderful blog posts. Learn, serve, and pass it on!
