INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK PHOTO CONTEST
Every November the
Office of International Programs organizes a photo contest for
study abroad returnees and current international students. Students
are asked to submit photographs with the themes of People, Places
and a 'special category' which changes yearly. Photos are judged
by fellow students and winners receive monetary awards. Announcements
regarding each year's contest are made to study abroad returnees
and international students in late October. Check the photo
guidelines for more information.
