2nd Place: Jazmynn Noia, Nursing
Freshmen nursing majors playing their future roles. Jazmynn says "The best decision I made was entering the Nursing Learning Community - no words, pictures, or stories can truly represent the amazing experiences and connections."

Category 2: LC Life on Campus
1st Place: Jasmine Skinner, Leadership House
Trevor Kilne and Jasmine Skinner performed in the Lip Sync dance competition as Beauty and the Beast. Jasmine says "The Leadership community has molded me into an accomplished freshman, and an influential role model. Living in the LC definitely made my freshman year one of the most amazing years I have yet to experience. It gave me the chance to shine separately among this hugely populated campus."
2nd Place: John Kelleher, (Pre-)Pharmacy House
The (Pre-)Pharmacy LC did a ropes course, and the task was to swing on the rope and have your teammates grab you and squeeze you onto the tiny platform, so that you could hand the rope back over to the next person. Pictured: Stephanie Wong, Tyler Ojeda, Angi Wang, Chris Jensen
3rd Place: Alicia Rozkuszka, (Pre)-Pharmacy House
My roomate, Songyi Ee, and I at an ice skating trip with the (Pre-)Pharmacy Learning Community. Alicia says, "My first year at college has been a great one, and I attribute the fun that I had to the (Pre-)Pharmacy LC. Not only did I have a group of best friends after only the first couple days of school, but we also do a lot around the community. I would definitely call the (Pre-)Pharmacy LC my family. We study together, go to class together, do community service together, and have fun together." Photo Credit: Heather Kutzler
Category 3: LC Life in the Community
1st Place: Songyi Ee, (Pre)-Pharmacy House
(Pre-)Pharmacy LC students participate in a Florida Winter Relief trip. Songyi says, "Strangers with the same cause become friends forever!"
2nd Place: Theresa Connolly, Nursing House
Courtney Hurlbert and Theresa Connolly at Brighton Ski resort in Utah. Theresa says, "Several nursing students traveled to Salt Lake City for the National Student Nurses Association Convention this past April. We enjoyed learning more about the possibilities open to us in nursing and we were also able to enjoy the beautiful mountains where we skied for half a day." Photo credit: Craig Folcik
3rd Place: Grace Capreol, Public Health House
Public Health House volunteers on the Alternative Spring Break trip in Baltimore, MD. The end of two days work with Habitat for Humanity, a truly inspiring experience! Grace says, "Life in the LC this year has helped me understand the importance of community service, and the benefits of service learning. By reflecting on the activities and services performed throughout the community, its possible to learn more about Public Health, the community served, and yourself. It has inspired me to continue community service wherever I end up!"
Congratulations to all of the winners! We would like to thank everyone who submitted photos to the contest! Make sure to keep taking photos of LC events for next year's Photo Contest!
