Photo Contest - The World in Pictures

If you have studied or traveled abroad, this is an opportunity to submit
your photos and perhaps win a $75 prize! The contest is sponsored by the
Student Council on Globalization and the OIE. Photos will be judged on
artistic quality and communication of a cross-cultural experience. Both
U.S. students and international students may submit photos, so encourage
your international student friends to submit photos as well. U.S. students
must submit photos outside the U.S. International students may submit
photos of U.S. destinations (since they are studying abroad here) or
international destinations. The deadline for entries is Nov. 6 at 5 p.m.
The awards reception will be held on Nov. 13 at 5:30 p.m. in 215B Barrow
Hall. For more information or an entry form, please see:

Student Quotes

From a student in La Plata, Argentina

"There are many interesting things. . . I like traveling. Argentina is a
beautiful country. I also like hanging out with my host family and going to
asados (which are huge family barbecues). Everyday I learn something new -
everyday is an interesting experience."
