Celebrating International Education Week!
The CEPA team is proud to be part of the international education community and to support students and faculty during their cultural and educational journeys in Europe.
We would like to thank all the students who participated this year, as well as the faculty, study abroad offices, and on-site coordinators who assisted us in selecting the winners.
Over 50 students submitted fantastic photos taken during their study abroad programs with CEPA.
We can’t wait to share the results with you!
Congratulations to the winners of our 2025 Student Photo Contest!

Title of my photo: “Castle on the Rhine”
