Pictures taken of campus by students in their first year at the U of A are currently on display in the Anne Kittrell Gallery of the Arkansas Union, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., until Aug. 13.

This is the third annual exhibit of the First Year Photo Project, an initiative organized by New Student and Family Programs. Any student new to the university — freshman, transfer student, international student, or graduate student — is welcome to pick up a camera and take part in the project.

Besides taking pictures, students in the program meet a couple of times each month to get to know each other, talk through various topics related to the transition to the university, and engage in a variety of character-building activities. No previous photography skills are required and participants are not required to have their own camera.
