Annual Photo Contest

We believe that life-experience is the best supplement to a college education.  Our annual Boilers Abroad Photo Contest challenges students to capture the lessons learned overseas on film.  This contest aims to encourage students to define their goals, seek them out, and reflect on experiences.  They are invited to submit images that are unique, authentic, and thought-provoking.  Prizes are awarded during our Welcome Back Reception, the first Wednesday evening of classes.
