BETHANY, W.Va. – A student in the Bethany College Freshman Honors Seminar is undertaking a photography project showcasing the natural beauty across campus.
Hailee Vizyak, of Wellsburg, W.Va., said the effort originated when Debra Hull, visiting professor of psychology and leader of the seminar, assigned a creative project illustrating how each student connected with nature.
“I chose to illustrate this connection through photography by taking photos on the hiking trails, at the wildflower garden, and at some other areas around campus that caught my attention,” Vizyak said.

Hull said the seminar is exploring the natural world in and around Bethany as part of its study of Appalachia.
“Hailee did an exceptional job of capturing the beauty of the world around us and integrating words and images,” Hull said.
Vizyak said she plans to continue her photography through the academic year to capture the changing seasons. At Hull’s encouragement Vizyak plans to present her photos and her related writings during Bethany’s Honor Symposium in the spring.
