Over 20 Penn State Scranton students, faculty and staff members traveled to Puerto Rico during Penn State’s Spring Break week in early March – but it wasn’t for a tropical fun-filled vacation at a seaside resort. Instead, the group embarked on an “alternative spring break” service trip, traveling 1,700 miles to Luquillo, Puerto Rico, to provide disaster relief to residents whose homes were damaged by devastating hurricanes.
After spending a week together serving those in need, meeting the impacted families, learning about the culture and exploring the land, the students all agreed that the trip was “eye-opening.”
