From Kangerlussuaq to Casablanca, and Berlin to\u00a0Burano, around 61 percent of each graduating class has studied abroad for a semester or a year during their time at Bates. Even more join an off-campus Short Term course.<\/p>\n

Annually, the college\u2019s\u00a0Center for Global Education<\/a>\u00a0provides access to study-abroad programs in more than 60 countries on six continents.<\/p>\n

Those who go away come back, of course. To help returning students reconnect with the campus community, the CGE produces the annual Barlow Off-Campus Photography Exhibition.<\/p>\n

Mounted in Pettengill Hall each spring, the exhibition gives students a chance to share with friends, professors, and staff what they\u2019ve seen and experienced. Here are 14 selections from the 19th edition of the Barlow exhibition.<\/p>\n

About the photograph<\/strong>: “Berlin always reflects on its past. This photo was taken inside the Reichstag, the German parliament building, on the viewing deck. At the top of the building, one can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city. One of the windows leading up to the top was shattered and it seemed poetic: a shattered past with a beautiful future.<\/p>\n

“Throughout Berlin, there are reminders of the past but also reparations that have been made by both the government and Berliners to remember the lives lost during the Holocaust.”<\/p>\n

About the photograph<\/strong>: “During an early December weekend, I visited the five villages of Cinque Terre; this view of Manarola is from the cliff-side coastal trail. The trails afforded breathtaking views but what caught my eye the most were the beautiful colors of the Ligurian townhouses that decorated these villages.<\/p>\n

“Appearing a little faded in the midday sun, these houses still stood tall and vibrant, perched on the cliffside in their settled, organized blocks, with a rocky cliff and active sea below. I understand why these rustic fishing villages are so beloved by so many.”<\/p>\n
