Upon arriving in Viña del Mar, the University of Oklahoma students met their new host families and headed to their Chilean houses to get a good night's rest. On Monday morning the students were welcomed to the UVM International Office (OIIE) with a brief orientiation and then had a class with their professors on History of Democracy and Dictatorship. Afterwards, they enjoyed a tour of Valparaiso and had lunch in the famous restaurant J. Cruz, tasting their first Chilean chorrillana. The afternoon was concluded with a warm welcome ceremony hosted by the OIIE staff and students from the University of Viña del Mar.
