Photo Contest Submission (last call)
As we all experience SIPA differently this semester than ever before, we’d like to see “from your eyes” where you’ve been learning this semester! Send us a selfie or picture from your “personal classroom” setup, or the view from your window, or another cool part of your daily routine this semester! It could be whatever you consider a reflection of your learning environment - you choose! At the end of the month, we’ll create a collage of all the submissions by the DAQA squad. Be creative and have fun!
Extended deadline to Friday Dec 4 12pm, please send you snap to yz2878@columbia.edu with a subject “DAQA Photo Contest – Your Name”. we will feature the photo submission in the EOS newsletter. Look forward to seeing your photos!
