Clemson students on spring break

Students in several Clemson University organizations are taking spring break trips this week, but they won’t be going to the beach. They’ll be spending their time off volunteering to help others. Among their projects:  to help build a school for a community in Nepal; four undergraduate students and an assistant professor are going to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to continue working on their Inquiry project “Building Healthier Communities in the DR.” Ten members of Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries will be returning to Haiti where they will be gathering data for other members of the team, which has made many trips to the country. Clemson FCA, a religious organization, will be making a trip to Baltimore, Maryland. There will be 502 Clemson students working alongside local churches and nonprofits helping with construction projects and a homeless ministry.
