Photos from Abroad

Here are this year's study abroad photo contest winners:


WINNER OF PHOTO CONTEST CATEGORY “LANDMARK & LANDSCAPE”: Paul Ottati (Capri, Italy)

“This photo was taken on the shores of Capri when we arrived from Sorrento on the ship to spend a day on the island. This was located in the main port that all the tourists ships pulled into to allow visitors to enter onto the island.”

WINNER OF PHOTO CONTEST CATEGORY “STUDENT EXPERIENCE”: Erin Clune (Namibia)

“The photo was taken at Etosha National Park in Central Namibia, the country I studied abroad in. We were on our travel seminar portion of the semester and were camping at a lodge right next to a watering hole.”

WINNER OF PHOTO CONTEST CATEGORY “CULTURAL ENCOUNTER”: Kelly Donnelly (Lissu, Thailand)

“This is a photo I took in during a homestay in a Lissu (Lissus are an ethnic minority) village in Thailand. I had the chance to help out in the fields of this village, and everyone gathered in a field hut for lunch. This woman is wearing traditional Lissu clothing, and is chopping vegetables gathered from the fields for our lunch.”
