Princeton University students are showcasing their many opportunities to experience life abroad through "International Eye," an exhibition of photographs taken while participating in international study, internships, service and research.
The Office of International Programs, in collaboration with the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS), the Program in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, and the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, sponsors the annual competition to select photos for the exhibition.
The 2015 photographs were judged by photographer Emmet Gowin, professor of visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts, emeritus, in eight categories: Abstraction, Architecture/Cityscape, Landscape/Nature, People, Tigers Abroad, A Window on Eurasia, Innovations for Successful Societies and PIIRS Global Seminar. All of the winning entries may be viewed on the Office of International Programs website.
The exhibition is on view in the second floor atrium of Burr Hall through the end of March, and then moves to Rockefeller College. Check the contest website for future viewing locations.
'Hang on'
"These are brittle stars hanging onto coral to keep from being pulled away by the waves on the Atlantic side of Panama." — Kerith Wang, Class of 2016, doing study abroad and thesis research in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Honorable mention, Landscape/Nature.
'Rouen Cathedral'
"My co-workers for my Princeton in France internship were both master's students living in Rouen. On one of our days off, they showed me around the city, and I had a chance to visit the magnificent Gothic cathedral in the heart of the old quarter. Looking up, it was hard to imagine I was not looking up to the heavens." — Joseph Gauvreau, Class of 2017, interning in Rouen, France. Second place, Abstraction.
'Another Siesta'
"Two tigers take a quick siesta after falling victim to the lazy Madrileño heat of the summer." — Mya Abousy, Class of 2018, interning in Madrid, Spain. First place, Tigers Abroad.
