Since 1977, Marquette University students have enjoyed making service trips during Spring Break. The student groups travel out of state to their host sites, where they live during the week of Spring Break.
Students contribute to the communities in which they work.
They are exposed to the social, cultural, and economic situations in our society. They learn how service organizations work to make a difference. They enjoy the opportunity to meet and interact with new people. They have time to reflect upon how the experience relates to their own life and faith. The off-campus experience provides a dimension of faith development by giving students a deeper awareness of the needs and values of people whose life experience is different from their own.
