A team of students, alumni and staff from the University of Illinois Springfield traveled to Antigua, Guatemala, this spring as part of an international service trip. Partnering with ImagininGuatemala, a small non-governmental organization, the group spent four days helping build a home for a family in need.

ImagininGuatemala works with volunteer teams to construct housing in the villages surrounding Antigua. The organization also provides access to food, clean water, education and health services.

This past year has been a time of growth and expansion for the Speech and Debate Team! The team continued to compete exclusively in 9 online tournaments.
