Photojournalism grads leave everlasting memories at CMU
Graduating photojournalism students will leave CMU snapshots of their memorable moments.
The 16 seniors in the CMU photojournalism program have captured hundreds of memories on campus and in the community during their time at CMU. Those moments will now be a part of a yearlong showcase here on campus, according to a news release.
The 2008 Senior Photojournalism Exhibition is on display on the fourth floor of Moore Hall, which is home to the journalism department. The photos will be displayed until May 2009, when the next groups of photojournalism seniors graduate.
