In fall of 2002, a group of Union students participated in a term abroad in Vietnam, through a program run jointly with Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
During the time the students were in Hanoi, they studied Vietnamese, took an anthropology course called “Photographing Culture,” and completed internships or independent study projects. Although based in Hanoi, they traveled throughout Vietnam, and the photographs they took concentrated on the warmth and friendliness of the Vietnamese people.
An exhibit was held this spring, and here we present a few of the photographs that were on display. The show included images from students Alison Friedman, Meghann Glavin, Joe Kilcullen, Pat Mahoney, Kaitlyn Richards, and Andrea Tehan, and from Professors Sharon Gmelch and George Gmelch, both of anthropology. Michael Mosall
of the College's Visual Arts Department did the printing.
