This spring, students will be traveling to New Mexico to help victims of domestic violence; Michigan to work on a nonviolence project; Florida to build houses for Habitat for Humanity; rural West Virginia to contribute to the operation of a self-sustaining farm; and Maryland to work in an urban neighborhood.
