Ten students will travel to Nassau, Bahamas, during Winter Break to serve children at the E.P. Roberts Primary School. Led by Mary Hamilla, assistant director of the Educational Enrichment Program, and Kylee Sargent, help desk coordinator, students will serve from Saturday, Jan. 5, to Saturday, Jan. 12.
Students attending the trip will prepare lesson plans and teach primary school students in first through fifth grade; many of the attendees are early childhood education majors.
