That 2010 Interim—During a month of extensive lectures, tours, and travel, many Birmingham-Southern students have seen some interesting chunks of the nation and world. From coral reefs to museums to mountains, they've been getting quite an education as part of the January Interim Term. In the photo above, BSC students (from left) Lindsay Moore, Wil Gilmore, and Tiffany Dy do a unique pose in front of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. The trio pursued an independent Interim project entitled “Discovering India: Healthcare Exploration through Medical Volunteer Work.” They each sought a better understanding of the roles that socioeconomic standings and diverse religions play in the administration, availability, and quality of healthcare in India, while also observing and engaging in the country's culture. (Dy and Moore were the recipients of the Dr. and Mrs. Berte Koinonia Travel Scholarship that was awarded by the college this year.) Below, students stand atop the tomb of Samuel Wesley at St. Andrews Church in Epworth, England, the same spot where John Wesley once preached to the masses after being denied the pulpit in the church. Samuel Wesley was the father of John Wesley—the founder of Methodism. It is tradition for seminary students to stand on the tomb. For three weeks, the students traveled across England, visiting places where John Wesley lived and worked and where the Methodist movement began and grew. Pictured (from left) are Caroline Culver, Diana Wilmoth, Hunter Pugh, Tom Webster, and Brian Smith.
