More than 800 students elected to forgo what some might consider a “traditional” spring break to serve with Howard University Alternative Spring Break (HUASB). Coordinated by the Office of the Dean of the Chapel, the first-ever virtual HUASB program continued to address social injustices across the globe during Spring Break, March 8-10, 2021.
Students from all backgrounds, with varying majors and missions, united to complete more than 100,000 service hours. Participants served and engaged with organizations in more than 16 communities, with first-ever sites including Jamaica; Sacramento, California; and Bronx County, New York.
As a tradition, service continued in New Orleans, Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. “Student leaders are the pulse of Howard University; they are known to create opportunity in times of crisis,” said Bernard L. Richardson, Ph.D., dean of the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel.
