Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS), located in Louisville, Kentucky, is the oldest of the six seminaries affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The seminary was founded in 1859, at Greenville, South Carolina. After being closed during the Civil War, it moved in 1877 to its current location. Southern is one of the world's largest theological seminaries, with an FTE (full-time equivalent) enrollment of over 2,000 student and over 170 FTE faculty. In the wake of the Civil War, the seminary suspended classes for several years. With the financial help of several wealthy Baptists, including John D. Rockefeller and a group of Kentucky business leaders who promised to underwrite the construction of a new campus, the seminary relocated to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1877. In 1926, during the administration of Southern president Edgar Y. Mullins, the seminary occupied, "The Beeches," a 100-acre (0.40 km) suburban campus east of the city center designed by the Frederick Law Olmstead firm. The campus now contains 10 academic and residential buildings in Georgian architecture and two housing villages for married students.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
