#PSU CUPA

[nina-vision]

2017 was a year of educational excellence. Reedies teaching science to local elementary school kids. Lewis & Clark Pioneers helping new students move into their dorm rooms. PSU CUPA graduates bringing an entire room to tears with their passion for change & possibilities. University of Oregon Wayne Morse Scholars visiting the Capitol in Salem and meeting with Gov. Brown and Attorney General Rosenblum. Meeting these young adults, talking with them about their hopes and fears, hearing the determination in their voices to make this world a better place, has kept my spirits buoyed through this year. I got to photograph so many of these intelligent, compassionate, empathetic and ethical young people, and I hope I get to photograph them all again as they put their marks on this world.
