Alternative Breaks Alternative Breaks are programs that have been implemented in the area of service. They are planned on weekends and during student breaks. In the past, they have been offered in conjunction with other schools in the area such as Otterbein College, College of Wooster, and Marietta College. The weeks and weekends allow students to get away from campus to learn about various service issues in different environments by doing community service work. This event is a community plunge day set aside in the spring for Ashland University students to volunteer at local agencies.
Volunteers can work in various areas ranging from senior citizens and youth to hunger awareness.
