Every summer, the CIC organizes an international service experience
for a team of students. The team averages 13-15 in size and the
trip is for approximately two weeks. Having an international service
trip during the summer allows for more travel time than during University
breaks which allows the group more community interaction and more
exploration of the country and culture. The group is selected early
in the Spring semester and spends the remainder of the semester
fundraising, learning about the country and the service organization,
and getting to know one another. Upon returning from the trip, students
share their experience and new found knowledge with the campus and
local community. Destinations for International Summer Service Trips
have included Port-au-Prince Haiti, working with a variety of homes
affiliated with Mother Teresa (an orphanage, home for the dying,
and a home for disabled children), Quintana Roo in the Yucatan Peninsula
in Mexico, working on environmental preservation and education,
and San Lucas Toliman, Gautemala, working with the local parish
on reforestation and construction projects.
