Dear potential Alternative Breaker,
Please ignore this email if you have already been selected to participate in an Alternative Breaks trip this year.
If you missed the deadline, or even if you have already submitted your application(s), you have yet another opportunity to apply for our program!
The Restoring our Natural Landscapes in Argentina Alternative Spring Break trip has reopened its application process!
The deadline to submit your paper application is Thursday, February 2nd at 6pm and the Site Leaders will be holding rolling interviews throughout the entire time period. If you turn in your application sooner, then you will be more likely to be interviewed and considered for participation.
If you are interested, here are the steps to take:
1. Turn in a paper application (download from abatucsd.wordpress.com) and your Winter Quarter schedule to the Alternative Breaks@UCSD mailbox on the 3rd floor of Price Center, directly behind One Stop.
2. Email abargentina2012@gmail.com to confirm that you dropped off your application and to schedule an interview.
