Rochester students used their cameras—and mobile phones—to capture their experiences around the world in this year’s Education Abroad Photo Contest.
Now in its 21st edition, the contest is administered by the Center for Education Abroad with support from the Office of Global
Engagement, Rochester Review, and University Communications.
This year’s contest, which covered the period from January 2016 through the 2016–17 academic year, received a total of 245 entries from 53 students who submitted their photos in the categories of Physical World, Local Culture, the Student Experience, the Global Experience (sponsored by Global Engagement), and Most Epic Selfie.
The contest also included a Community Vote category, selected by visitors to the social media outlets of the Center for Education
Abroad. Each year, more than 275 students study abroad through more than 100 academic programs offered by the Center for Education
Abroad in more than 50 countries.
