Franklin\u2019s Photojournalism class through the end of the academic year. This is the fourth photo exhibit of student work. The images were selected by Franklin, and students did not know which of their photos would be chosen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great way for us to highlight our students\u2019 talent,\u201d says Franklin. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of the hard work the students put in this semester, especially during a pandemic where photographing in the field can be very challenging. They did great work and I\u2019m excited to share it with our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 50 people attended the gallery reception, including invited professionals from the media industry, former photojournalism students, as well as some parents and friends invited by the students.<\/p>\n<p>Among the work featured are some by John LaRosa, who is also the photo editor at <em>The Montclarion<\/em>. LaRosa photographed President Obama at a campaign event for Governor Murphy in Newark and also covered the Gubernatorial election event in Asbury Park. Sekhena Sembenu covered both Gubernatorial candidates on the campaign trail and made several creative and intriguing portrait photos. Lynise Olivacce covered the COVID-19 memorial service on campus and produced images that captured the raw emotion of the event. These and other outstanding images highlight the creativity and skill of these future multimedia professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the conversation about the exhibition on social media by using #scm_photojournalism2021<\/p>\n<h2>Photo Gallery<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"responsive-image-holder wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mlt-responsive-image\" data-original-image=\"\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/Photojournalism-Class-Exhibit.2021.Franklin.jpg\" src=\"\/responsive-media\/cache\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/Photojournalism-Class-Exhibit.2021.Franklin.jpg.0.1x.generic.jpg\" alt=\"Professor Thomas E.
