Freshman Finalist in National Photo Contest Needs Your Vote!
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
An alert eye, quiet step and ready camera may win a $500 study abroad scholarship
for Stephanie Long, a freshman biology and psychology major and member of
the Honors College. Long’s photograph of a young moose splashing in a stream
in Grand Teton National Park in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a finalist in a national
photo competition sponsored by University Language Services. Long is a front-
runner in her round but needs your support! You can cast your vote at

Long has been taking photographs since the ninth grade and is active in the First
Year Photo Project, whose purpose is to “encourage students to make the most of
their first year of college” by documenting their experience with photographs.
“It helps you meet other photographers on campus who like to take photos just for
fun; I really enjoy it,” she said.
Long hopes to study abroad in Rome this summer. While searching online for study
abroad scholarships, she found one that could reward her skills in photography.
The top three entries will move into the final round of consideration for a $500
scholarship. The deadline to cast your vote is 11 a.m. CST/noon EST Monday,
January 28.
