Poised to serve—With the monthlong January Interim Term now in full swing at Birmingham-Southern, many students have found service-learning and community outreach opportunities that address national and global issues. Here, from left: Sarah Parkinson, Kelly Gronemeyer, Helen Marchman, Katie Adams, Mike Popwell, and Brooke Hand chop up celery and assist with food preparation at the DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C. The nonprofit recycles food from around the D.C. area and not only feeds those who are less fortunate, but also trains them with the valuable skills needed for them to start a career in food and help themselves. The students are volunteering as part of an Interim course called “Advocacy and Service in D.C.: Bridging the Gap Between Promise and Reality.” Led by BSC Instructor of English Kent Andersen and Sarah Doughton, assistant director of the college's Bunting Center for Engaged Study and Community Action, the travel course is helping students become more aware of homelessness, poverty, and community responsibility. BSC's Interim service-learning projects have taken teams to communities all over the nation and world.
