Jeffrey Ding participates in alternative spring break trip

2015 Apr 23

Jeffrey Ding, a native of Iowa City, Iowa, was one of nearly 130 students from the University of Iowa who participated in an Alternative Spring Break trip from March 14-21. Nine Hawkeye Service Teams headed out across the country on trips promoting service learning, social justice, and community building. They had an opportunity to serve with the community of Kansas City, Mo., as part of the Presidential Scholars Program sponsored by Honors at Iowa. The Alternative Spring Break Program is supported and coordinated by the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL). The UI is one of only a few alternative break programs in the country to also require students to participate in a common academic course as part of the experience.
