Off Campus Winter Term In the fall, many students, especially up- perclassmen, look off-campus to find a re- warding winter term experience. The pro- cess to land an internship is fairly complicated as there are forms to fill out, letters to write and deadlines to meet. The wide variety of off-campus intern- ships range from working behind-the- scenes at The Cosby Show to teaching math to a third grade class. These intern- ships are usually arranged by students on their own, although the University is avail- able to assist. The University also sponsors group trips which can take students anywhere from ,y New York, to London, or the Cayman Is- a lands. Students participate in many different activities on these trips with each trip em- phasizing an interesting and educational as- pect of the place they visit. Most students find off-campus winter . terms very rewarding and informative as they show another aspect of life-whether it be the corporate business place or a new and exciting culture. -Tracey Bellamy 4i- mtv I. : -M mhe lohn Yarger, Kelly Arnold, Jennifer Fosnough, Carol Strom, and Carol Reed pose during their trip to London.

FAR Off Campus .. Winter Term It all began last spring with a long line outside Lilly Center and a long night within. A few lucky students then got to attend ori- entation sessions and pack drugs. These are the activities which prepare students for a winter term mission trip. The UCC helps send students all over the worldto experience the culture and to help those less fortunate. This year, teams could be found from the Philippines to Africa and Georgia. At each sight, students helped build facilities needed by the town and cared for the sick. . The experience is highly educational as st- udents experience a totally different culture with different languages and customs. The trip also teaches each student much about himsetherselt as hetshe discovers strengths and weaknesses not before appar- ent. This spring, the UCC decided to utilize a lottery system instead of the usual overnight wait. This way, each student has a chance to go on a mission trip and test studying and classes do not have to be sacrificed by those wishing to participate. -Tracey Bellamy A member of the medical team smiles as she prepares to help the townspeople.
