We are very excited about your interest in ASB (Alternative Spring Break)!
We will not have an ASB in 2009 due to several trips at the same time, South Africa, Cozumel, Mexico, and Panama.
We are planning now for the 2010 ASB and will have more information soon. Please check back with us. If you have any questions about this event, please do not hesitate to contact Carla Daniels at 236-7180. Thank you for your assistance!
ASB strives to move heart-felt volunteers toward becoming life-long active citizens within their own community. We do that by focusing on social injustices that affect our communities. ASB groups travel out-of-state during our Spring Break to perform service in a community that is dealing with a particular social problem. Then we come back to campus and live out what we learned on our break so we can make our own community a better place.
You can become involved by applying to be a trip participant. We are looking for Capital students who want to make a difference in their world and have fun in the process. This is an awesome and unique opportunity to take an out-of-state and alcohol/drug free trip that will change your life.

- be in good judicial standing with the University
- have and maintain a GPA of at least 2.0 (for undergraduates) or 3.0 (for graduates), and
- be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours for undergraduates and 4 hours for graduates).
