The Highlands

For the nine students who made the 21-day trip in January 2017, the scarcity and simplicity of life in Cuba – from the 1950s cars to the empty supermarket shelves to the limited Internet service - challenged every convention of their lives back home.

The study abroad trip combined two classes: Journeys through Latin America: Contemporary Cuba, taught by Murillo, and Health, Culture and Elder Care in Cuba, taught by Kirby Veevers, an adjunct professor of Health Professions who specializes in palliative care, aging and long-term care.

Honorable Mention

"While in Cambodia I flew to Siem Reap and then drove to Angkor to see the ancient temple ruins. This photo was taken at Ta Prohm, a massive complex of 1000-year-old stone temples that lay in ruins, completely consumed by the Cambodian jungle. It shows a gigantic spung (Tetrameles nudiflora) engulfing one of the temple hallways."
