The Way It Was . . . 1952
The first I-House community visit to Redding included a tour of the local
newspaper, Record-Searchlight. The Redding Rotary continues to host
students from International House. For 45 years, community visits have
given students an opportunity to experience life in the U.S. outside Berkeley.
