Stay Connected
Spring Break 2026
Monday, March 23- Friday, March 27

Join us March 23–27 for a week of connection during WWU Spring Break.

​

Western Success Scholars and the Center for Community Learning are hosting a series of gatherings for students who want to stay connected with one another and with the broader Bellingham community. Throughout the week, there will be opportunities to participate in community service, learn more about the local area, and gather over free lunches or dinners. This series was created in response to students who asked for ways to stay engaged during the break.

​

Events are hosted by Washington Success Scholars, the Center for Community Learning, and community partners. All attendees are welcome to join any events that interest them. Explore what is happening throughout the week and plan your spring break adventures.

​

The program is free for all participants.

Our programming takes place on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples, who have lived in the Salish Sea basin, throughout the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades watershed, from time immemorial. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, particularly the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
