To The Arkansas Spring Break Group
Dear Students:
I have been in touch with our hosts at Southern Arkansas University and Stephens High School.
The messages being sent to us is this: both sets of hosts are extremely happy with all the work we did during the “Alternative Spring Break.”
Here is what makes me happy.
From the day we were asked to do the alternative spring break and all the correspondence, meetings, organizing and planning we did, we were able to impact the live of not only high school students but all of the Southern Arkansas University students as well who sat through three courses we taught.
There has to be a more profound word than PROUD. You folks modeled for our hosts and students what advanced undergraduates can do when they set out to purposely take their classroom learning into communities not as fortunate as we are and to help out.
Thank you very much for your participation.
EARL SMITH
