Education and Exchange sponsored a trip to the Grand Canyon during spring break. Fou rteen students traveled through Utah and Arizona to see the sights. “It was an awesome experi ence," International Students office manager Karen Susilo said. “The trip was worth it. We sang songs and told stories, and we got to see a lot of nature and go hiking.” The group—which consisted of students from Mexico, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Nepal, Korea, Hong Kong and the United States —went camping and saw a variety of canyons and Zion National Park. “It was freezing [while camp ing], but it was still a lot of fun,” Susilo said. “This was the first time fora lot of us to see the canyons and to just get out into nature.” Susilo said the trip was especially enjoyable because the people were from various coun tries. “We learned a lot from each other," she said. This trip is part of a series of ongoing trips and conferences the OIEE and the International Students Association peer assis tants are sponsoring this year. For more Information on upcoming events, contact the peer assistants at 346-4387.
