Community Service was Spring Break Destination for Morgan Allen

2015 Mar 18

Many college students hit the beaches over Spring Break, while others spent their time away from classes in the mountains or the big city. For Morgan Allen, participating in Ithaca College's Alternative Spring Break program, going to such locations didn't mean she worked on her tan.

The Alternative Spring Break gives Ithaca College students the opportunity to grow personally and professionally by working at a variety of sites, ranging from the coasts of North Carolina and Virginia to inner-city Washington, D.C., to Native American territory in New York. The annual program is run by the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs.

Allen, a senior speech language pathology and audiology major in the School of Health Sciences and Human Performance, traveled to Outer Banks, N.C., to work with the North Carolina Coastal Federation in the upper Outer Banks region on coastal preservation projects, including coastal cleanups and reef restoration.
