The winners of Transylvania University’s inaugural May term photo contest capture a spirit of exploration \u2014 both culturally and scientifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Porter won the student award for a photo (above left) of him and classmates jumping at the Xi’an City Wall during the travel course China\u2019s Capitals: Exploring the Bases of Power Through Politics and Art. In his Instagram post<\/a>, Porter (pictured far right) wrote: “Jumping for joy because no one has caused an international crisis ~yet~”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s faculty May term photo award went to Josh Adkins, lab coordinator and biology instructor, for his photos of pinned insects<\/a> that were part of his Entomology class. Adkins wrote: “This year’s Entomology class was incredibly fun! The student collections included lots of cool insects, a few of which … I had never seen before!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other photos depicting #TUMayTerm adventures include snowy scenes from Germany<\/a> and Delta Sigs in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transy’s four-week May term offers plenty of opportunities for great photography, with its fun, visually interesting courses both abroad<\/a> and at home \u2014 for instance, Public Policy and the Culture of Health in the Netherlands; DIY and the Rise of the Amateur Expert; and Confronting Climate Change, where students stenciled images on sidewalks around campus with eco-friendly materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During May term<\/a>, students concentrate on just one class, which is often interdisciplinary and taught by more than one professor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
