A group of student ambassadors from the University of the Free State is visiting Holy Cross for a 2-week study abroad experience focused on issues of race, cross-cultural dynamics, reconciliation, and social justice. In addition to living in the residence halls, attending classes and participating in co-curricular programming, eight of the students visited a nearby apple orchard and pumpkin patch on Oct. 1 with a group of Holy Cross students.
