While many students were using their Christmas break to catch up on sleep, a group of university students traveled to Oakridge, Tenn., to help people in need. The UA chapter of Habitat for Humanity visited its fellow affiliate in Anderson County for a week over winter break. A group of 17 students worked on a variety of tasks to assist the affiliate, including cutting chest-high grass, building a porch, pulling out drywall and demolishing two sheds, according to Taylor Graham, the UA Habitat for Humanity president. Graham said that it is not typical for their group to do multiple projects in different specialties, which differs from their work in the Akron area, according to Graham. Here, she said they usually work on one house, and each person works on what they have learned to do.
