Student’s Photography From MBA Service Day Selected for International Publication

A photograph taken by Nico Durand, a first-year MBA student at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, was recently published in “A voyage, diverse perspectives from 60 countries through the lens of volunteer photographers celebrating ICVolunteers’ 10th Anniversary…”

See the photograph in its published form at: http://issuu.com/cybervolunteers/docs/greenvoice/124?mode=a_p.

The photograph depicts a group of MBA students and an MBA Career Management employee working to remove trash and preserve local plant species at nearby Rock Creek Park by removing growth that threatens the indigenous ecosystem.

As part of the new student orientation program, MBA Service Day takes MBA students into the Washington, D.C., community for a day of service with their new classmates, returning second-year MBA student project leaders, and MBA program staff. The groups volunteered at five different sites: Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Septima Clark Public Charter School (education), Food & Friends (hunger), Operation USO (civic), and Rock Creek Park (environmental).

Durand, an experienced photographer, captured the experience on film and submitted it to the ICVolunteers photo contest on “diverse perspectives on the environment, citizenship, and volunteering.” Selected photos were chosen for the publication and an exhibition in Geneva in October. ICVolunteers is an international organization that is active in the field of communications and conference support and develops field projects. Photos were evaluated on their relevance to the theme and the artistic quality of the work.
