Alternative Spring Break is an opportunity for students to experience issues affecting the community first hand by participating in service during Spring Break.  For Spring 2007, 19 Winthrop students, faculty and staff members spent a portion of their Spring Break in Folly Beach, SC serving the surrounding communities.  Activities included building a house with Sea Habitat for Humanity, beach restoration along Isle of Palms, artificial reef creation on John's Island, and facilitating a mentoring program with a local high school.   This was a great opportunity to come together with other students to make a difference!
