Opening Convocation for the Easter Semester at Sewanee was held Tuesday, Jan. 24, in All Saints’ Chapel. The Right Reverend and Right Honorable Richard Chartres KCVO FSA, Bishop of London, gave the Convocation address and received an honorary Doctor of Divinity. Ninety-eight students were awarded their academic gowns during the Convocation.
In 2007 and 2008, Sewanee students and photographers Paul Dixon and Lexi Namer traveled to Peru and Sierra Leone with the hope that photography could heal the scars of violence. Dixon traveled to Sierra Leone to work with iEarn, an organization in the capital of Freetown that uses education to rehabilitate youth who have suffered from war and its effects. Namer worked in Ayacucho with La Casa Hogar Los Gorriones, an orphanage in the poorest district of the town, taking in children from broken, weakened, and dysfunctional families, many of whom are disabled.
