Mission
The mission of Alternative Spring Break at SI is to place interested and motivated graduate students, during the week of Spring Break, in professional work environments in the public sector where they can...

• provide a service to an organization, institution, or community
• gain practical job experience
• develop leadership skills as information professionals
• learn new skills
• create professional partnerships
• pursue their fields of interest

Students receive no course credit for this experience, but the School of Information, along with alumni and corporate donors, supports their travel and lodging costs.

The School of Information's Alternative Spring Break is administered by the Academic and Career Services Office at the School of Information, under the direction of Kelly Kowatch and Joanna Kroll. It is open to graduate students studying at the School of Information.

Undergraduates looking for Alternative Spring Break opportunities should look into the University of Michigan Alternative Spring Break program administered by U-M's Ginsberg Center.
