Students learn life lessons on Alternative Spring Break in New Orleans

Often, the term "spring break" conjures images of far-away beaches, parties or other exotic vacations. A group of 19 Penn State DuBois students, however, had a much different idea in mind for spring break this year. They spent the week on an Alternative Spring Break Service Trip, in New Orleans, Louisiana, volunteering with three different charitable organizations, and helping to improve the lives of others.
