Faculty and staff members from all campuses submitted moments captured during their summer travels and activities as part of the Summer Photo Contest. From creative photography to favorite memories, participants were encouraged to share the best parts of their summer.
Three winners have been chosen for the Summer Photo Contest. Faculty and staff members voted on three categories: nature/landscape, pets/animals, and ’Canes pride.
All voting was anonymous. Everyone who entered the contest answered the question: “What does the U mean to you?” The winners’ answers are featured with their photo.
Nature/Landscape
David Rivero, chief of the University of Miami Police Department, took this photo of the sunset during a trip at Lake Francis in Lake Placid, Florida.
What does the U mean to you:
“Just like the picture, the U represents the calmness after the storm.”
Pets/Animals
Sara Gelo, registered nurse flow manager, encountered and captured a photo of a Hawksbill turtle while scuba diving.
What does the U mean to you:
“A chance to further develop my career while helping patients.”
’Canes Pride
John Ness, lead academic advisor, Miami Herbert Business School, threw up the “U” while on a summer vacation in Mykonos, Greece.
What does the U mean to you:
“Diversity, dedication, unity, and community.”
