Bryant University 2019 Global Studies Photo Contest Winner!

Thursday, December 12, 2019
Picture
Congratulations to Mikayla Nogueira, the winning photographer of our first annual photo contest! Taken in Poland, Mikayla reflects on the powerful experience she had at this wall in Auschwitz:

"I traveled to Poland in March of 2018. It was a cold day, with clouds filling the sky. As I walked through Auschwitz, I had a sense of the horrific past events that had occurred there, no matter which direction I stepped in. I then came across the shooting wall. All I could do was stand a few feet in front of it and cry. To realize that thousands of innocent people were shot here, broke my heart. To see the bullet holes in the wall, and the dried up blood from years and years ago.  To think that so many years have gone by. I decided to never forget the events of the Holocaust. I would forever feel for the people who were killed, tortured, separated from their families, and so on. The day I saw the shooting wall was the anniversary of the end of the Holocaust. The wall stood decorated with flowers from families of those who were killed. Their legacy will not be forgotten."

Thank you, Mikayla for her beautifully composed thoughts and for allowing us to reflect on what is truly important as 2019 comes to a close.

Bryant Student, Kendall Brooks: Photo 3.6 Caption:

​"The photo of the sun necklace in front of the Chichén Itzá was handmade by Mayan women. The symbol in the center of the sun is the Mayan letter "K". The sun represents "the radiant energy that contributes to the motion of the universe" according to Mayan legend. This necklace now hangs from my wall, a reminder to always be that radiant energy for others."
