As Brian mentioned on Monday, it is Spring Break for Miami students this week. While some students may hit the beach and some decide to go home for a week, others are taking a week out of their lives to make a difference in a community. Through Miami’s Alternative Spring Break, students are able to serve others and change lives in the process. I know that Natalie mentioned some in last week's blog entry, but I wanted to let you know of some other ways students are serving.
Nine students headed to Terre Haute, Indiana to help rebuild homes with United Way. There was some major flooding last summer, and 80 of Indiana’s 92 counties were impacted. These students are helping to rebuild homes that were damaged as thousands of homes are still in need of repair.
Another group of 23 students, staff and faculty is currently in Cartagena, Colombia with Ambassadors for Children promoting education and giving hope for the future. Check out their blog at: http://community.muohio.edu/colombia2009/.
As you can see, Miami students are very busy this week making a difference! We’re hoping everyone has safe travels back to Oxford!
What are you doing for your spring break? Drop us a line and let us know! Seniors, don't forget--if you are waiting to hear about your admission decision, it will be available online on March 15 at www.muohio.edu/appcheck.
I don't know about all of you, but I'm certainly excited it's almost the weekend. Our staff is headed uptown to Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday after work for some great food and staff bonding. Some others might hit up the hockey game later this weekend. Whatever you are doing, I hope it's a great one!
