Meet the Photographic Journalist
Hey there! My name is Catherine Friar and I am the photojournalist who created Gen2U. I am a double major in Communication and Psychology at the University of Connecticut. This Creativity and Innovation Project demonstrates the visual story telling of second-generation Americans attending university through this wide portfolio of photographs and interviews. My personal motivations to create this piece were both intrinsic and extrinsic, being this has been a vision of mine for quite some time and now it is coming to life for my Educational Psychology course. My inspiration stemmed from the wide range of diversity and multiculturalism that embodies the University of Connecticut. Each student photographed and interviewed within Gen2U has a unique experience and background, which embody the fabric of this university.
