The Colors of Fall

Colors of Fall

The sights and sounds of fall in the Pacific Northwest are undeniable. As the seasons change and we approach the end of the semester, students trade sunny days on the quad for foggy mornings, hot drinks and holiday celebrations.

Students walk and bike to campus on a foggy morning An eerie but beautiful fall morning.

Students walk in the Canyon surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves Hess Creek Canyon comes alive with color in the fall.

Trees on the quad with bright yellow leaves Vibrant yellows, oranges and reds are on full display on the quad in November.

As campus transitions from fall to winter, once lush trees go bare, waiting to come back to life in the spring.

The sky is filled with loose leaves blown in the wind

Chris Low has been the photographer in the Office of Marketing Communications since April 2018. As husband to a nurse and dad to a 7-year-old redhead, he likes to build with LEGOs, get tattooed, and drink tons of coffee. Sometimes, when in better shape, he likes to run long distance races in the forest.

As some sports seasons began to get the green light, the marketing team took three days to get some hype content for each team. Known as "Hype Dayz" in the office, these shoots are modeled after Division I schools and pro teams that have media days to create content for use throughout the year. As a D3 school, it's fun to feel like a D1 athlete.
