For the fourth edition of our annual Study Abroad Photo Contest, we received just over 200 photos from 53 students who took part in an academic program sponsored by the College Center for Study Abroad and Interdepartmental Studies during 2011.

Submitted in the categories of culture, people, and physical world, the photos were taken in 33 countries, representing five continents.

And we added a new perspective this year. Working with the International Services Office and the Office of the Dean of the College, we invited international students to submit their photos of the United States.
