• For March 2020 Cushing will offer an "Alternative Spring Break Experience" for students from Mainland China and Hong Kong, as these are areas under State Department travel advisories because of the coronavirus. 
• This Alternative Spring Break is available only to Cushing students and will include time on campus, day trips, community service, and other components to make this experience relaxing and enriching. All offered activities will be required parts of the program. 
• All meals will be mandatory and family-style. 
• Health services will be available during the day, and nurses will be on call throughout the evening for emergencies.
• Similar to the schedule on weekends, we will have times for lights out, check-ins, and limited wi-fi access. 
• To enroll in the program, a student must participate in the program for the entire time period. We are not allowing students to participate in shortened portions of the Alternative Spring Break. 
• The cost of this 16-day stay, including meals, lodging, supervision, and activities, will be USD 4,400.00. To secure your child's space, please email Josh Doyon, Director of Student Affairs (jodoyon@cushing.org), with confirmation of student attendance, and submit a non-refundable payment. Both items must be completed by Monday, February 24th.
• If students are interested in alternative options that are off-campus, Commonwealth Student Services of Boston is also offering alternative Spring Break options which include skiing and trips to Boston, Newport, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and several destinations in California. Interested families should contact Commonwealth Student Services of Boston by email (dkorb@cssob.com) or by WeChat (CSSofBoston).
