Sophomore Sarah Purdy was sitting on a bench in the arboretum on July 30 after her summer session organic chemistry class. "I heard it was easier in the summer, but that's not really the case," Purdy said. "I guess I took it in the summer so that I wouldn't have the distractions of the school year with it." Purdy plans to graduate with a degree in biology, she said. "I would like to practice medicine overseas, maybe somewhere in Africa or South America, hopefully," Purdy said. "This summer I went to Africa on a mission trip to Swaziland where we worked with HIV patients. Working in the hospitals there was really cool because it's just so different than the ones here, and you can really make a difference in their lives. I really liked the culture there and how everyone was so friendly and warm. It was beautiful seeing all the big animals in their natural habitat that you don't really see around here." Purdy hopes to move to Africa one day to continue her work, she said. "I would move to Africa after I graduate in a heartbeat," Purdy said. "I would like to go back to Swaziland if I went to medical school and could specialize in tropical medicine or HIV so I could continue to help their efforts. It would be really hard to leave my family and friends but I think it would be worth it because you know that you are making a difference in the world."
Aysha Jemison, Joseph Togh and Jon Stante were outside Ballantine hall on July 30 to capture some footage for a project that the IU creative services is putting together for the freshman induction ceremony. "Aysha is one of many students that had a great study abroad experience and creative services is putting together a family of characters who are sharing their story, and we are filming that today," Togh said. Jemison studied abroad in Asia, visiting China, Japan and South Korea during her trip in May, she said. "My trip was a travel study course through the the School of Public Health," she said. "We went to other universities and we learned a lot, then we came back and submitted a portfolio. I loved all of it. It was very different because it was my first time out of the country, so to go on the other side of the world was really interesting." Togh and Stante graduated from IU in 2011 and started freelancing around Bloomington, and working directly and indirectly with the university doing video production, Toug said. "We recently formed an organization that is the first of many steps to better serve the local and regional landscapes," Togh said. His favorite part about summer in Bloomington are the restaurants, Togh said. "Winter is kind of a downer," Togh said, "so being able to eat outside and enjoy all the good restaurants here is nice."
Savannah McCain and Gabrielle Griffin were walking behind Woodburn Hall on July 30 on their way to lunch in the IMU. "We are here for the IU Groups Scholars program," McCain said. "We were given the chance to get a 2.0 so we could be admitted to IU in the fall. The campus is big but we like it. There are a lot of nice places to go and eat. Our program was six weeks long and tomorrow is our last day." Getting to know new people was a highlight of the program, McCain said. "When I first came, I didn't think anyone would be as fun as they are, but now that I've got to know people I've become really close friends with them."
Ph.D student and biologist Daniel Schwab and his younger sister Elizabeth were studying a branch of the Jordan River on July 30 near Ballantine Hall. "During the summer I taught this really great course as part of the foundations of science and mathematics," Daniel Said. "It's about a two week course where we take the kids out to learn about cell biology, genetics, ecology and evolution behavior. One of their labs was actually looking at these two branches of the Jordan River and we sampled for diversity." Daniel is helping his sister with a class project, Daniel said. "My sister is actually visiting me. She's going into 11th grade now and has a class project. She has to do pretty much what I taught in my class where we go out, ask some sort of an ecological question, make some sort of contrasts, and analyze the data, graph it, that sort of thing." Daniel has been in Bloomington for just over two years and has enjoyed visiting Griffy Lake, he said. In the summer I enjoy the abundance of natural resources. We have a lot of great places to go kayaking. I'm an outdoorsy person so it's nice we have all the trails to go hiking. There are a lot of nice places for recreation."

Aaron Taslitz was in the fine arts building Wednesday morning to finish up some reading for his summer political science class, his last course before graduating from IU. "I come to the fine arts building for the amazing speed of the computers in the computer lab and the A/C in the building." Taslitz was familiar with the building after taking photography courses, he said. "I went through the beginner, intermediate and advanced photography classes," Taslitz said. "I should have majored in photography, but I am very pleased that I did have a comprehensive education at IU." Fine arts have been more than just a hobby for Taslitz though, he said. "I really appreciate applying the fine arts to me academic work here at IU," Taslitz said. "It helped me more than the fine art itself. I didn't understand the concept of, this is what the assignment is, and if you don't do what is says, then you won't do well. I didn't understand that concept at all until I started taking photography classes. I was told you have to take the photograph like this, and it has to be in this setting, and everything needs to work out. I applied that to my upper level undergraduate classes here and I started doing very well."
