A SPRING BREAK WITH SEOUL--Hyangsoon Yi, assistant professor of comparative literature (third from the left), explains the origin of Buddhism to UGA Foundation Fellows Brian Dunham (senior marketing major), Ellen Downs (junior chemistry major), Carson Strickland (junior history and Latin major), Gemma Suh (senior, majoring in public relations and East Asian languages and literature) and Matt Taylor (junior student, majoring in genetics and computer science). The students and accompanying faculty were on a spring break trip to South Korea. The trip, centering on an in-depth look at Buddhism, included visits to the major Buddhist temples, Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple. The group also stayed at two of Korea’s most famous monasteries, Unmunsa Temple and the Songgwangsa Monastery. The Unmunsa Temple is a Buddhist nunnery and home to the Un-mun Sangha College, the largest Buddhist college in South Korea, and it had never before invited students from another university to participate in the daily rituals with the bhikkhuni, or student nuns. The three-day visit of the UGA Foundation Fellows was, as a result, covered heavily by the Korean press. More photos from the South Korean trip. (Photo by Janet Beckley)
