Thank You for Making the Spring Spotlight a Success!

Students gather in a presentation space with posters and a digital screen in the background. Overlaid text reads: "Thank You for Making the Spring Spotlight a Success! Visit the website to explore digital projects or to add your class! springspotlight.academic.wlu.edu"

We’re grateful to the faculty and students from 14 Spring Term classes who shared their work through presentations, performances, poster sessions, and creative displays during last week’s Spring Spotlight in the Harte Center. The energy, insight, and innovation on display truly captured the spirit of Spring Term at W&L.

If you didn’t get a chance to attend—or if you want to revisit some of the projects—be sure to explore the growing collection of student work on the Spring Spotlight website. You’ll find podcasts, short films, digital essays, and more—all reflecting the depth and diversity of learning across disciplines.

And it’s not too late to contribute! If your class created digital work that you’d like to see included on the site, please reach out to Helen MacDermott (hmacdermott@wlu.edu) to get started.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this year’s Spotlight a meaningful and memorable celebration of student learning!

"Volunteers needed" against colorful speech bubbles on a white brick wall

This spring’s Photojournalism course seeks members of the W&L and Lexington communities to be part of student photo-essays.

Students will talk with and photograph a few different aspects of a community member’s life. Community members determine what aspects they’d like to share and their availability, which may include up to a few hours spread across the term. Students will present photo-essays in a gallery setting at the end of the term. 

If interested, please contact Jared Macary, Professor of Strategic Communication, at jmacary@wlu.edu or 540-458-8240.
