Nine Emmanuel College student-athletes have been commissioned and will take part in the 2010 Alternative Spring Break.

Emmanuel's Director of Athletics Pam Roecker commented, "As a department, I am pleased to say that all of our 15 varsity teams participate in a variety of community service activities throughout the school year on an annual basis.  However, these nine student-athletes, who have dedicated their spring break to service, take this effort to another level!  Emmanuel College has a strong and clear mission in social consciousness and community service and these student-athletes, along with our other students and staff members on these alternative spring break trips, are exemplifying that mission this week.  We are very proud of them all!"
