The committee has returned to Ivanhoe because the community is very receptive to the service and it has been a successful site. Through service with ASB students are educated about who they are and why they value their life. Ivanhoe is a remote location but the people of Ivanhoe are proud of who they are. They enjoy enriching students at IU through their time spent at this location. When students return from ASB, they have the opportunity to reflect on their time spent at the various locations.
Reflection is a major part of what students do during and after the trip.
Site leaders plan for a structured way of reflecting for participants and themselves. Through these activities, students can see experiences through other student s eyes that they didn t recognize or feel on the trip. I can look into student s eyes after they return from ASB and see how they are impressed by the service they performed, said Ingersoll. I get a sense of incredible loyalty after one week of being at the sites.
