University of South Carolina Lancaster Students
Win Awards for New Orleans Photography

Tyler Reeves and Hannah Morgan, University of South Carolina Lancaster students, received awards for their photographs taken during a travel study trip to New Orleans in June 2012. Reeves’s photo won first prize, while Morgan’s submissions won runner-up and honorable mention.

Both students were enrolled in the summer 2012 Literature of New Orleans class taught by English professors Dr. Chris Bundrick and Dr. Nick Lawrence. The curriculum included a one-week stay in New Orleans, during which the class read A Confederacy of Dunces and explored facets of the city. Fran Gardner, professor of art and art history, provided the students with the guidelines for the contest before the trip.  There were a total of 30 submissions for the contest from the thirteen students who participated in the travel study program.  The submissions were judged by USCL professors Bundrick, Lawrence, Gardner, and Brittany Taylor. The prize-winning photos will be on display in Hubbard Hall on the USC Lancaster campus. Special thanks to Dean John Catalano, Laura Humphrey and the Student Affairs office for supporting the travel study program.

Next spring, USCL students in Dr. Dana Lawrence’s ENGL 419 Shakespeare and Italy class will travel to Rome, Venice, and Florence as part of the 2013 travel study program.
