A DIFERENT KIND OF SPRING BREAK
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of around 36,000, more than haft a milion university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States
A weeklong drinking binge is not for everyone,however, and a growing number of American university
students have found a way to make spring break matter For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmenttal damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about
Duringone spring break week, students at James Madison University (JMU) in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrian Another group traveled to Mississppi to organize creative activites for children living in a homeless shelter One group of studnets did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plants species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem
