2013 Apr 11

Madeline Hehemann a senior nursing major at Marquette University attended a Marquette Action Program (MAP) spring break service trip through Marquette's Campus Ministry program. Hehemann, from Riverwoods, IL traveled with nine other Marquette students to Washington, D.C. and performed service focusing on urban poverty.

Since 1977, MAP has offered students the chance to work and interact with people all over the United States. Sponsored by Marquette's Campus Ministry, the trips expose students to aspects of poverty, racism and the lives of the disabled in today's society. Depending on the site, students may be doing anything from assisting in classrooms to preparing meals at homeless shelters to repairing houses devastated by storms. This year, 177 Marquette volunteers traveled to 19 different sites in 13 different states.
