Immersion Trip to Chicago

March 14, 2016 by Qian Wang

I’m a one-year-program EMBA student from China. I spent the only spring break I had in an immersion trip other than tourist trip to Miami or California because I wanted to understand more about this country and I wanted to help people wherever I am. I don’t care I wasn’t in many group pictures for sometimes I was the photo taker or sometimes I was busy working. This experience … [Read more...] about Immersion Trip to Chicago

Indy Baby 5

March 12, 2016 by Rachel Morris

As our trip is coming to an end, my mind is calm. To use some of the words people brought up in reflection, I feel very tired but accomplished, anxious but content, and most importantly, full. I believe we all feel very full after this week due to the abundance of knowledge we gained and new experiences we went through as a group. Also, we very much appreciated all of the … [Read more...] about Indy Baby 5

Last Day but New Beginnings

March 11, 2016 by Aidan Williams

It's the last night of our Dallas Bear Breaks trip. We have been through lots of highs, many lows, lots of crying, and many laughs. Before I start, this is what needs to be said the most: this trip was the best decision I ever made. I had a lot of expectations going in this trip: I was going to get to work with kids, I was going to go on a trip to a place I've never been … [Read more...] about Last Day but New Beginnings

Be Bold. Be Humble. Spread the Love.

March 11, 2016 by Alex Johnson

Today marks our last day of service and learning with 6 communities across the country.  I cannot adequately express in words how humbled and grateful I am to work with Missouri State student leaders who have dedicated themselves to creating a brighter present and future for others. This week, each student brought his or her unique and valuable perspectives, talents, and … [Read more...] about Be Bold. Be Humble. Spread the Love.
