Thanks to the mentoring of Alice Rouse, Hillary is now a first-year graduate student at the University of Denver studying International and Intercultural Communication. Hillary has facilitated photojournalism workshops for at-risk youth in Seattle, Boston, and currently Denver with the intention to use art as a means to create space between the individual and their traumatic experiences.

She is on her way to spending the summer in Haiti on a freelance photojournalism assignment with the Mennonite Central Committee. Visit her website at www.hillaryprag.com. Photo credit: Greg Schneider.
