“The Society for Photographic Education could not be what it is without our amazing students from across the country,” notes society leadership. “This exhibition is a celebration of the diverse works our student volunteers are creating in and out of the classroom. These students have volunteered their time and energy to help make our conference a success, and in turn we want to share the work they make.
