Thanks to Our Judges
Our panel of judges included Allen Topolski, professor and chair of the Department of Art and Art History; Brandon Vick, digital assets manager for University Communications; and Shannon Taggart, a freelance photographer based in New York City and a former University photographer.
Jacqueline Levine ’80, ’84 (Mas), director of the Center for Study Abroad and Interdepartmental Programs, and Sylvia Kless ’91W (MA), who retired this spring as associate director of the International Services Office, helped coordinate the contest.
For the fifth edition of our annual Study Abroad Photo Contest, we received just over 200 photos from 55 students who took part in academic programs sponsored by the College Center for Study Abroad and Interdepartmental Studies during 2012.
Submitted in the categories of culture, people, and physical world, the photos were taken in 43 countries, representing five continents.
For the second year, we worked with the International Services Office and the Office of the Dean of the College to invite international students to submit their photos of the United States.
This year’s grand prize winners receive a $100 gift certificate to the University bookstore.
Students who win categories and who earn honorable mention also receive prizes.
