Once again a group led by Prof. Chris Smith and Dr. Don Christensen will travel to Guatemala this January.

We will also participate in a traditional Mayan ceremony, explore aspects of Mayan spirituality, and travel throughout the highlands visiting many cooperatives and projects.

There are many committees at UTS that need student representatives. SEC is looking for your participation. Let us know what committee you would like to serve on for the 2008-2009 school year. Being part of a UTS committee is an opportunity for students to have a voice other than in the classrooms. Please fill out the attached form and place it in the blue "Suggestion" Box in the Context Cafe, return it to Mailbox #91, or the SEC mailbox.
