Travel to the U.S./Mexico border for one week to learn about immigration, the global economy, and environmental and human rights issues. This immersion provides the opportunity to hear multiple perspectives on the complex issue of immigration and may include visits to a detention center, federal court, social service agencies, and human rights organizations.

Participate in this one-week Habitat for Humanity build with a group of fellow University of Portland students. The group will work on building houses within the Pacific Northwest.
This experience allows students to immerse themselves in issues surrounding housing in the Northwest, while also building community. Students will not only work alongside peers, but also have the opportunity to collaborate with the families who become homeowners of the home the group helps to build.
