Our Spring and Summer 2016 students made this our most successful Photo Contest yet! And, one with many "firsts".

With a record-breaking 1,000+ photos submitted across our five categories, we narrowed the selections down to 157 finalists. After a week of voting, almost 23,000 votes were cast on Facebook (another record), and our winners rose to the top! For the first time, we had a two-way tie for our inaugural Internships & Service Learning category, and for the first time we had one student win in two categories!

Here are all our winners:
