Images From Around the World

Every year, hundreds of Lutes study away throughout the world in places like China, Mexico, Namibia, Norway, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, and more! As students return to campus and reflect on their time away, the Wang Center accepts photo submissions in our annual contest to showcase the value of global education.

Past winning photos and videos can also be viewed on the links below with photo titles, descriptions and photographer names. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to view these amazing scenes and learn more about the places our students have visited during their study away journeys!

Study Away Photo & Video Contest

The Wang Center Photo & Video Contest will accept photos and videos from PLU students, faculty and staff who participated in a study away program in Spring 2024, Fall 2024, and J-Term 2025. Submissions are accepted year round.

The Deadline is February 15th, 2025. Those submitting photos and videos for the contest must be the photographer/videographer.

Please view the contest guidelines to review contest rules and category descriptions & email global.ambassadors@plu.edu for any questions.
