Spring Break Plunge

Every spring break, the CSL office offers students the opportunity to travel over spring break to perform a service trip somewhere around the country with a new location and activity for each year. Students get the chance to assist in disaster relief efforts related to hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and fires. These trips can be deeply emotional experiences for students as they get to reflect on what is really important to them.

At the beginning of March, during our Spring Break, students from the University of Redlands traveled to Paradise, CA, a town nearly completely destroyed by fire in November of 2018, to help with item retrieval
