DePauw University Summer Alumni Service Trip - July 2013
In 1993, the first group of DePauw students made a connection with the community of Consolación, El Salvador, assisting in the rebuilding of a school while learning from the local community through the Winter Term In Mission (WTIM) program (later renamed the Winter Term In Service (WTIS) program).
To commemorate 20 years of partnership and a commitment to service, WTIS, CoCoDA, and DePauw University Alumni Relations are hosting an alumni reunion service trip to El Salvador in the summer of 2013. This will be a reunion experience for participants on WTIM/WTIS service trips to El Salvador over the 20 years, and an opportunity for family and friends of alumni to connect with this DePauw tradition of service
All friends and alums are invited and encouraged to participate in this unique and meaningful experience.
