“Willamette is a rising star — a place that does its work well and has momentum to claim its rightful spot among the few colleges in this country that prioritize undergraduate education.”

     This quote from Colleges That Change Lives by Loren Pope pretty much sums up my impression of Willamette University in Salem, Oregon after recently shooting an image library for their next viewbook. Working with a great production team I created hundreds of images during our four days of shooting.

     I was especially impressed with the students’ obvious love of the school and their zeal for learning, and the passion exhibited by the faculty made me yearn for a chance to ‘do’ school all over again.

     For a small school Willamette carries a big stick.
