Educate. Engage. Empower. Immersion programs feature the opportunity for students to spend their breaks (spring, summer, fall) serving, immersed in communities (local, national, or global). These experiences allow students to engage with communities, immerse themselves in cultures, test major and career choices, and grow as Citizen Bears. Upon their return from the trip, groups will look to address social issues in their own communities.
