Birmingham-Southern College students recognized for service-learning involvement

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Five Birmingham-Southern College students received the Christopher T. Morgan Scholarship Award during the college's 2009 Honors Day Convocation.

The award, which offers assistance to students who participate in service-learning projects while in college, was established in 1998 in memory of Morgan, a 1990 Birmingham-Southern graduate who died of cancer. As a student, Morgan was actively involved with service-learning trips to Bolivia and Zimbabwe and with ministries on campus at Yeilding Chapel.

The BSC Bunting Center for Engaged Study and Community Action provides student leadership and service opportunities locally, nationally, and internationally.

The students, listed by hometown, are:

• Vishwanath Danthuluri of Madison, a senior interdisciplinary biology/psychology major and the son of Naga and Sita Danthuluri.
• Corinna Herndon Ray of Montrose, a junior art-printmaking major and the daughter of William and Mary Ray.
• Allison Rose Schuver of Gadsden, a senior English major and the daughter of Michael and Dianne Schuver.
• Miriam Ann Smith of Mountain Brook, a senior English major and the daughter of Nathan and Nancy Smith.
• Meredith Wolfe of Homewood, a senior psychology major and the daughter of Dr. Andrew and Dawn Wolfe.
