EYES ON THE WORLD

PHOTO CONTEST AND EXHIBIT

Why a Photo Exhibit?

Often, the impact of being abroad is difficult to put into words, but “pictures are worth a thousand words.” Rarely do persons who have traveled abroad get the opportunity to share their experiences and express the changes in themselves. The Photo Exhibit is an opportunity for the UNO community who have traveled abroad to share their experiences.
