Imagining the World encourages students, faculty, and staff to capture more than a moment in their experience but rather to share a very personal window into the new country, culture, community and world they explore. We welcome all eligible individuals, regardless of their level of photography expertise. This competition promotes accessibility, community, diversity, and inclusion.
