ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK
Participant Application Deadline
The University of Michigan's Alternative Spring Break is a SERVE-sponsored program that offers a community service learning experience during the traditional Spring Break of the academic calendar. Students spend the year learning about the culture and history of a particular area, community, or issue. During spring break, groups travel to a selected site to engage in meaningful action towards a greater understanding of root causes of relevant issues. Students participate in critical reflection and analysis of social justice issues they experience first-hand.
The program is dedicated to providing break opportunities to as many students as possible, while striving to increase community impact and student learning and aiming to help address societal problems with understanding and compassion. Critical elements of this process are recognizing community needs and assets while working in partnership with community members. Equally important is translating the experience into an understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of social problems and making a commitment to being part of the long-term solution.
Past and present ASB sites have included delivering meals to AIDS patients in New York City, repairing homes damaged in natural disasters, engaging with urban youth in Chicago, working with the Sioux nation in South Dakota, learning about sustainable agriculture in Texas, and a community non-violence program in Detroit.

For the 5th consecutive year, the Transatlantic Program (TAP) is offering a group of up to 25 select U.S. students the opportunity to gain work experience in Germany, following a ten-day full immersion seminar in Berlin, Germany. The internships will take place in summer 2009 and last 2-6 months (though I do not know whether we have six months of summer in Germany). The TAP enables students in the fields of engineering, business, international relations, and renewable energies to gain practical skills for their future careers, to improve their foreign language abilities and to learn first-hand about the German business environment and culture. This experience is designed to promote personal growth, to help the participants become ambassadors for transatlantic business, as well as interculturally sensitive, flexible young professionals.
Unique to the Transatlantic Program is the pre-internship immersion Seminar in Berlin, a ten-day program consisting of German language-building activities, intercultural training, and discussions with representatives from German business and politics.  Highlights of the seminar include visits to companies and organization and day trips to other key cities such as: Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, Berlin; Daimler AG, Berlin; Federal Foreign Office, Berlin; Porsche AG, Leipzig; Nordex AG Wind Power Plant, Rostock; Container Harbor, Hamburg; Dresden; Potsdam. The group is brought together again for an interim seminar in Cologne to share experiences and for an internship review. This summer, one first-year student from German 231 participated at this program; and from what I have heard, her experience was uniformly positive. If you would like to be nominated for this program, please let either Janet Van Valkenburg <jvv@umich.edu> or Kalli Federhofer (kallimz@umich.edu) know by September 30 as our nomination deadline is October 1. Your application deadline is October 24, 2008!   If you would like more information on the program, please visit <www.transatlanticprogram.org> or e-mail Sabine Klensch at <klensch@gaccom.org>.
