Off-Campus Study & Exchanges is pleased to announce the winners and honorable mentions
of the 2025 OCSE Photo Contest. OCSE received hundreds of photos from students that
studied off-campus during 2024, 2024-25 and spring 2025. Photos were submitted in
one of four categories: My City, My Sefl(ie), My Studies, and My Adventures. A first-place
winner was selected for each category. A Best of Show award was also given for the
