Mission Exchange broadens UI students through cross country visits
A UI social work program called Mission/Exchange sends 21 students and advisers to San Bernardino during spring break and, in alternating years, invites Central City Lutheran Mission youth to Iowa City in April. Participants sleep in tough settings, visit a Los Angeles Holocaust memorial, and compare urban poverty and race.

Central City Lutheran Mission Exchange Expands Iowa California Links
The Central City Lutheran Mission runs programs from health care and education to housing for AIDS clients and youths. A growing exchange with San Bernardino students began in 2000 with self funding then secured a $37,000 Thrivent grant. UI participants pursue ministry and social work careers after visits.
