What is SI's Alternative Spring Break?

    

The Alternative Spring Break is to place interested and motivated graduate students, during the week of Spring Break, in professional work environments in the public sector where they can...

  • provide a service to an organization, institution, or community
  • gain practical job experience
  • develop leadership skills as information professionals
  • learn new skills
  • create professional partnerships
  • pursue their fields of interest

Students receive no course credit for this experience, but the School of Information, along with alumni and corporate donors, supports their travel and lodging costs.
