Annual International Photo Contest

Every fall, students, faculty, and staff are invited to submit photographs from their travels abroad. The photos are displayed anonymously, and the Warren Wilson community has a chance to vote for their favorites. This year's photo contest winner in the Cross-Cultural category was Rebecca Moss. Morgan's award-winning photo, featuring his host sister and himself, was taken outside of a mosque in Turkey. Rebecca visited Turkey while studying in Hungary with CIEE. Emily Brigham won in the Nature category for her image of a gannet in northeastern Scotland. Johanna Rotondo-McCord won in the People's Choice category with her photo of a mariachi musician in Mexico.

International Programs Week

International Programs Week is an event that showcases the prospective study abroad courses for the next academic year. Eligible students have a chance to speak with prospective course leaders during lunch in Canon Lounge. During the evenings, returned study abroad course participants hold presentations about their experiences during their recent courses. It's a wonderful opportunity to explore your options and see what others have learned.
