PULLMAN, Wash. – Photos taken around the world have won awards in five categories in the annual contest for Washington State University students who completed education abroad programs within the last year.
The Office of International Programs Global Learning Department will display the photos in Bryan Hall through spring 2017.
By category, the winners are:
Educational Moments: “Wildlife Sighting Antarctic Style” was taken on a wildlife observing expedition in Lemaire Channel, Antarctica, by Amelia Brown.
Landmarks and Landscapes: Brenna Hendrickson snapped her shot in Zermatt, Switzerland. The Matterhorn, she said, “takes your breath away and makes you blind, because of the altitude and the sun reflecting off the snow.”
Cougar Pride Goes Global: Gina McNulty sports the WSU Cougar flag during one of her many excursions outside Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Windows to the World: “Garganta de Diablo,” or the Devil’s Throat waterfall in Argentina, “represents the beautiful and wild spirit of the jungle, the waterfalls and all that inhabit this ecosystem,” said Nicholas Semrau.
Discovering Local Culture: “Europe has endless history, beautiful architecture and street performers,” said Dylan Tarver. “This photo showcases Prague’s personality in a way that makes you feel Czech culture.”
