Zyad Abdelaziz was one of the students published in Orion Magazine’s “The Place Where You Live” series. Abdelaziz wrote about Cairo, Egypt.

Nearly 30 students in Joel Helfrich’s “Introduction to Environmental Studies” class had their essays published online as part of Orion Magazine’s “The Place Where You Live” series.

The essays are available online but may be published in a future print edition of the magazine. The following students were published:
