‘Year of COVID’ Photo Contest Winners
Throughout the pandemic, we’ve all drawn inspiration and comfort from places a little closer to home, whether it’s hiking outside, visiting a new park, or tackling a new recipe in the kitchen. We asked the SEAS community where their adventures have taken them in the past year, and which places or projects left a footprint on their soul. Here, we share the winning entries in our “Year of COVID” photo contest. Thanks to everyone who submitted images of the people, places, and things that brought them joy and renewed their spirit.
