Hi,
Does your campus encourage alternative spring breaks? Has anyone on your
campus studied this to find out if it impacts drinking, injury or death?
An Associated Press reporter is looking for some good leads for an article.
Alternatively, do you have a great story to tell about a spring break
service project?
The deadline is today. Full details follow. If you can help, please
respond directly to Linnea Burman <lburman@labrechemurray.com>.
Thanks,
--Michael
