Asakawa photo earns excellence award

The Office of University Communications on the Boulder Campus was recognized with an award of excellence by the University College Designers Association (UCDA) at its 2012 annual design competition. Photography Director Glenn Asakawa won the award for a photo he created of the Boulder campus after a snowfall.

His comment on the image: “I took this photo the day after a winter storm that left everything covered with a fresh blanket of snow under crisp and clear Colorado blue skies. The campus buildings stood out against the sea of white as viewed from an overlook that's near the route I take into the campus from my home in Lafayette.”

Out of 1,100 entries submitted nationwide, only 163 awards were given out. This is the second UCDA award for Asakawa. Awardees will be recognized in October at the UCDA National Conference in Montreal.
