WINNING STUDY AWAY PHOTOS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Every year, hundreds of Lutes—just like those who traveled to Germany over J-Term—set out on Study Away experiences all around the world, from Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood to Tanzania. And every year, PLU’s Wang Center for Global Education holds a student photo contest to showcase evocative images from the students’ travels and experiences.

The 12 winning photos were framed and displayed in PLU’s Mortvedt Library through mid-May, then moved to the Anderson University Center, where they will be on display through early June.

For the first time, we’ve compiled all the winning images in an interactive feature below, where you can see where PLU students traveled, what they experienced—and what amazing photographers they are, too!
