Student Report: Haylie Lam, Hong Kong, Fall 2014
The week before classes started Orientation Week helped me find new friends and settle down in this city.

For the week of December 14, 2014, eight students from the University of Tennessee, College of Engineering, went to Guatemala for an alternative winter break.
