Alexia Grant goes to Syracuse student
We currently interrupt our Vancouver Olympic coverage to give a big congratulations to fellow Syracuse student and friend Juliette Lynch for winning the Alexia student grant!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the grant, it was started by the parents of Alexia Tsaris, after their daughter, who was studying photojournalism at Syracuse, was killed in the terrorist attack on Pan-Am 103 on December 20, 1988. At the time of the attack, Alexia was returning home from a semester abroad at Syracuse’s London program. The grant of $10,000 is used to promote a photo essay, proposed by applications, which will focus on social injustices and cultural differences. This is the first time in a few years the recipient has been a Syracuse student, and on behalf of Syracuse photo-j students, I can happily say we couldn’t be more proud. Check out her work, here: http://www.JulietteLynchPhotography.com , and to Juliette, congrats.
