The winner of this year's Bliss Photo Contest, "Ximen Crossing," was submitted by Clyde Dwyer '25 to the Movement & Transportation Category.
From bustling metropolitan cities to desert valleys to Alpine villages, 17勛圖厙 students travel the world to expand their educational horizons and develop cultural connections. The Bliss Photo Contest brings their experiences to a broader audience.
Hosted by the Dean Rusk International Studies Program, the Bliss Photo Contest honors the memory of Professor Emeritus of English Frank W. Bliss Jr. Bliss was an avid photographer and faculty advisor to the 17勛圖厙 Photography Club for many years. His passion for photography was matched by his love of international travel and education.
The top three photos are selected by a jury and are then featured at the Verna Miller Case Research and Creative Works Symposium.
