Spring Break
Are you ready to enjoy your spring break in just a few weeks? You definitely deserve it! Here are some safety tips we want you to be aware of:
- Keep a form of identification on you. Whether you are traveling back home or to a vacation spot, always keep an ID on you to ensure you don’t get stranded somewhere.
- Don’t travel alone. There is power in numbers so staying with a group is the best way to avoid being a victim of a crime.
- Be careful with money. Be sure to create and stay within your budget. Overdraft fees add up fast. Only carry small amounts of cash on you during your trip.
- Use caution when sharing your location on social media. Sharing too much may endanger your personal safety.
- No means no. Get consent and practice safe sex.
Did you know that you can volunteer your time during Spring Break? Check out Bobcat Break, a Leadership Institute program that allows students to travel to communities and engage in service and experiential learning during university breaks. These short-term service trips provide an all-inclusive opportunity for students while providing a learning experience on issues such as culture, environment, homelessness, hunger, literacy, and poverty. These trips are life-changing for students who attend. The application for Bobcat Break is typically available at the end of February. Find more information and sign up for Bobcat Break on the Service & Leadership Institute page on the Student Involvement website.
