Each Wednesday, WKU’s Student Chapter of NPPA brings you the best images of the past week taken by our very own students. To submit, you must currently be a WKU Photojournalism student and have taken the images or produced the video in the last week (Monday to Monday). Send your top 5 choices to wkunppa@gmail.com and our officers will pick the best of the bunch to showcase.

For the final post of this week, we wanted to highlight a group project done in the Practicum class. Over the semester, a team of seven WKU students (sammy Jo Hester, Crystin Faenza, Ian Maule, Austin Anthony, Justin Philalack, Megan Tan and Katie Mayfield) and one design graduate (Dalton Rowe) decided they wanted to know more about the rich immigrant culture in Bowling Green.
Voices of Our Neighbors explores the international stories hidden within Bowling Green, Ky. Its diverse population is unexpected. From 2008 to 2012, approximately 1631 refugees reestablished their lives within the city.
The purpose of the project is to answer the question,
“Who are our neighbors?”
By gathering stories from the international communities, we want to share the experiences of people who have had to leave their families, assimilate and redefine their identity. Our goal is to be a bridge for a diverse town of people who are calling one place their home.
