This trip was the culmination of those studies and was an opportunity for the students to see for themselves how a nation has interpreted and applied those topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caitlin Conley<\/strong>\u00a0says, \u201cTsinghua University was our home away from home in China. This is where we learned about the history, culture, energy, government, calligraphy, and customs of the Chinese people. We ate our first local meal, tasted our first hot wine, spent our first yuan, and used our first squatty potties at this university. The campus was beautiful and their students and staff were incredibly gracious. We could not have felt more welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While in Shanghai, the students had a chance to visit the Shanghai World Expo, a fair featuring over 200 pavilions from countries and organizations around the world.\u00a0 This experience left a definite impression on the students, including\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Mark Walker<\/strong>, who enjoyed \u201cbeing able to experience the cultures of virtually every country in the world in one single place.\u201d\u00a0 The students were also able to learn about the differences between being a student in the United States and a student in China. They were impressed by how much more work is required of university students in China!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the students found their trip both exciting and educational.\u00a0 This once-in-a-lifetime trip will serve as a good experience for their future studies and eventual careers, and has given them the opportunity to learn about and engage in a culture entirely unlike their own.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Julia Stamper, Honors Council Publication Committee \u00a0 At the beginning of the summer, the inaugural class of the Haslam [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[43],"class_list":["post-1056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-haslam-scholars","tag-2008-scholars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
