If you studied abroad between Spring 2024 through Spring 2025 we welcome you to enter the annual WORLD: The David and Leighan Rinker Center for International Learning Photo Contest. We are focusing on a theme we call
“Global Hatters” so we want to see you and your friends out there, living, learning, and experiencing the world beyond our borders! Your photos may be featured on Stetson websites and social media!
While we love scenery photos,
we especially want to see photos of Hatters abroad!
