The Caldwell Fellows’ month-long service-learning trip to China is almost over. Janice Odom ’94 PHD, director of the program, has been chronicling their journey on her blog, A Caldwell China Summer, since it began in May. The group of 16 Caldwell Fellows and six China Fellows has snacked on eel and cicada, dined with NC State alumni in Shanghai and learned Tai Chi from a master in Hangzhou, all while partaking in service experiences throughout the country. Now on the last leg of their trip, the Caldwell Fellows reached Beijing on Monday. Follow Odom and the students as their time in China draws to a close.
