It&#8217;s Spanish professor Veronica Dean-Thacker&#8217;s last May term trip before she retires after 37 years. She&#8217;s co-teaching Cultures of Southern Spain \u2014 Medieval and Contemporary &#8220;Convivencia&#8221; with classics professor David Kaufman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of the world in Japan, it&#8217;s Lights, Camera, Anime!, team-taught by art and art history professors Kurt Goode and Wei Lin. &#8220;This first-hand experience will educate students about the cultural, architectural and physical details visually present in many anime, developing a more complete understanding of the stories by experiencing both contemporary and early historical sites that inform Japanese lives, artworks and storytelling,&#8221; according to the course description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another of this year&#8217;s classes is International Accounting and Logistics Management led by accounting and business professors Christi Hayne and Jeff Hopper. Focused on the beverage industry, this course will take students on a tour of businesses in Germany, Italy and Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_-730x436.jpeg\" alt=\"students with a starfish\" class=\"wp-image-23366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_-730x436.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_-350x209.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_-768x458.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_-810x483.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_-300x179.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/may-term3_.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This year&#8217;s other May term course abroad is Tropical Ecology in Belize with biology professors Belinda Sly and James Wagner. They&#8217;ll explore rain forests, coral reefs and investigate topics like species diversity and habitat conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closer to home, exercise science professor Sharon Brown and psychology professor Bethany Jurs are traveling with students around Kentucky and Tennessee to learn how nature positively interacts with our minds and bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania recently announced courses for May term 2025 \u2014 including a literary-themed journey to Colombia, business studies in France, a look at the interaction of primates and human society in Gibraltar and the next episode of Lights, Camera, Anime! in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of these options are the best fit for a student interested in springtime study abroad, Wilson will help them find a university that Transylvania can partner with \u2014 so they can still earn May term credit toward their general education requirement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That opens up a lot of opportunities course-wise for students,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"375\"
