In April, undergraduate and graduate students from across Stanford Global Studies programs and centers were encouraged to participate in the 2016 Stanford Global Studies Student Photo Contest. Students submitted over 100 images from across the globe in several categories, including altered images, global events, natural world, people and travel. 
 
“Students in SGS travel far and wide for research, language training and internships.  Through these photos, they bring the sights, sounds and memories of these far-off places back to us and share their experiences with a wider audience. The photos are just extraordinary and judging them is always so difficult,” said Jane Stahl, office manager for Stanford Global Studies. 
 
Congratulations to the 2016 winners: Allie Balesterros, Cherise Beatus, Maria Doerr, Magdalena Fitipaldi, Ravid Itay, Allison Michel, and Megumi Yoshinaga!
