The Lynch School of Education Office for Students and Outreach (Campion 104) will be sponsoring several service trips during the upcoming academic year.  The purpose of these trips is to offer students an opportunity to interact with people from many different backgrounds.  We believe that by immersing ourselves in the many different communities we are able to gain a better understanding of the community and its need.
