\n<\/TABLE>Nelson invites Nebraska students to send him their stories of spring break service and philanthropy and he plans to feature those stories and photos on the special page.<\/p>\n

“More and more these days, students are opting to spend their spring break helping others,” Nelson said. “While many college students have thought of spring break as a simple break from classes and papers, a growing number of students are opting to help others both in the U.S. and abroad. I want to recognize and highlight these efforts.”<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to see Nelson’s “Spring Break for Service ’08” Web site, which gives Nebraska students an opportunity to post service experiences from alternative spring break programs. Visit the site to participate, find submission information and see what other students are doing around Nebraska.<\/p>\n

Those wishing to post or read stories and pictures from students are encouraged to visit the Web site at anytime through April 11.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
