XU Alternative Breaks envisions a worldwide community of active citizens living in solidarity, perpetuating dignity and justice in their daily choices.
Great weekend exploring the legacy of the civil rights movement in Cincinnati with XU Alternative Breaks. Thanks @XU_AB and @DorothyDayCFJ for making it happen. What we learned was inspiring and a reminder: we have work yet to do.
I’m excited to be doing a (local) Alternative Breaks trip this year — the Legacy of Civil Rights. Thanks to Mia and Kaila, our trip leaders, for today’s orientation. @XU_AB@DorothyDayCFJ
Snow day!!! ❄️⛄️
Xavier University is CLOSED on Tuesday, February 9 after 6-8 inches of snow fall last night in the Cincinnati area. Be safe and have fun, Musketeers!
... And make sure to tag us in your snowy pictures of campus. 💙😍
“Not only has AB given me a chance to learn, serve, and reflect on issues that I’m passionate about, it’s given me the opportunity to meet so many great new friends. I only wish I would have done AB all four years!”- John Johnston, Senior. #FriendsOfAB#XUAB2021
Who are some of the friends you have made through AB and how have you stayed connected to them? Senior leader Mia Lynd says-
“I met my friend Jessica through AB. We met as participants on our trip 2 years ago, and our snapchat streak is still going strong 660 days later.”
“Co-leading Alternative Breaks has been one of the most impactful and unforgettable moments of my time here at Xavier. It was such a special time to take a step back to reflect on the larger community and really ask yourself “How can I truly be a person for and with others?”
