“I’m not sure if it was slicing up long reams of typeset copy

with an exacto knife and laying out pages of The Beacon late at

night - keeping an eye out for the other slap-happy staffers with a

penchant for lighting fire crackers - or all the black and white photo

developing chemical fumes I inhaled during the countless

absorbing and happy hours I spent in the darkroom in the basement of Christie, but my years at the

University of Portland set me out on a journey to tell true stories about the way we live that has taken me from New York to

Wyoming and South Carolina, from the White House and halls

of Congress, to homeless shelters, fields of rare orchids, bat caves and Haitian coups. Margaret Mead used to say that she was wise enough to

never grow up, I imagine because she found such joy and meaning in her work. I feel the same. The Beacon helped light the way.”

“Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play when No One Has the Time,” to be published in March 2014 by Sarah Crichton Books/ Farrar Straus & Giroux

The log: making memories

“The Log has become quite an influential aspect to me. Starting out as a photographer freshman year I had no idea I would get this far in three years. I applied for the yearbook because it was something I did in high school and thought it would be a great opportunity to continue photographing and learning about UP and meeting new people. Now that I am the editor- in-chief I am not only able to learn but also help guide the incoming staff members to the creative dreams and practical realities of producing a yearbook. As a program, The Log has and continues to provide me with opportunities to improve my photography, writing, designing and managing skills. It is one of few things that you can do on a college campus where you can say your work has been published and have the chance to be recognized for awards based upon that work, while competing against hundreds of other US colleges and universities.”–Brooke Williams, ’15, 2013-14 Editor-in-Chief, 2012-13 Photo Editor, 2011-12 Staff Photographer

“I enjoy yearbooking. Although school is my first priority, being on staff has allowed me to make connections with new people every time I worked on a new spread. I enjoy hearing their stories and a yearbook is the perfect place to record these memories that have made UP such a lively campus.” –Isabelle Nguyen, ’16, 2013-14 Design Editor, 2012-13 Editor in Chief & Staff Designer

Experiences on The Log

“The Log was one of my first families on the UP campus and I feel completely comfortable in that room with the staff, even new staff members because I hope they value the group as well. I made lasting friends and everyone on staff pushed me at one point or another to make my photography better, but also pushed me to reach out into the UP community and take the photos of my classmates. The Log makes me feel more connected to my school and I love my job.” –Leah Walters, ’16, 2013-14 Photo Editor, 2012-13 Staff Photographer
