Portland State Magazine Winter 2007

From Around the World ON THE RIGHT: Lindsey Franger wishes her Japanese language skills were better while studying in Hokkaido, Japan. Still, she talked "with people from all over the world everyday. I learned so much about different walks of life and different people." 14 PORTLAND STATE MAGAZINE WINTER 2007 Portland State supports hundreds of students each year as they study other cultures and places through the Education Abroad program. Students spend from two weeks to a year in 41 countries, and many chronicle their stay in photographs. That is why the Education Abroad office started sponsoring a photo contest three years ago. On these pages are a few of the winners selected by students, including the top three photographs by Noel Kochanasz, Nancy Ferber, and Glade Norman.
