Students walk along University Boulevard in front of the Hill Center.

"One of the wonderful things about January is that the students return to school after a long winter break. Because of the time of year, we're able to photograph at the end of daylight during golden hour. I really love that warm afternoon glow and the busyness of students between classes. I like the implied diagonal line leading from the top of the right corner of through the figures to the bottom left corner of the frame.” — Jennifer Alsabrook-Turner, university photographer
