The photo contest is open to all the students who participated in study away courses or exchange programs in foreign countries. The goal is to encourage cultural awareness, as well as an appreciation for the environment and art from visited places.

The winning pictures will be chosen in October from photos taken from the Fall of 2018 until the Summer of 2019. There will be an exhibition of the best pictures. If you have questions, write to mriverat@missouriwestern.edu.
