(Editor’s Note: This post is by Andy Daddio, ������ý’s photographic services coordinator.) Here are ten images from 2014 that stood out when reviewing what I had shot this past calendar year.

UPDATE: the New York Times ran an article exploring Yik Yak on the College campus. It mentions the ������ý faculty Yak back.

This news is most welcome as President Jeffrey Herbst and Provost and Dean of the Faculty Douglas Hicks have made study abroad one of several priorities related to globalizing ������ý.
