2010 EMU graduate Lindsey Grosh (Photo by Jim Bishop)<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Lindsey J. Grosh, who graduated cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in photography<\/a> with minors in TESL and Spanish, is a regional winner in a nationwide contest, “Art for the Long Haul,” sponsored by Celadon Trucking Services. <\/p>\n

She received a $500 prize for a design she submitted for the company’s 25th anniversary celebration. <\/p>\n

Grosh got the pleasant news upon returning to her York, Pa., home following EMU graduation ceremonies on May 2. <\/p>\n

Celadon Trucking<\/a>, headquartered in Indianapolis, Ind., ranks as one of North America’s largest truckload carriers with some 4,000 employees and operating roughly 3,300 tractors and 10,000 trailers. <\/p>\n

Grosh’s winning entry, intended for display on the side of the company’s tractor trailers, was several photos of piglets from a black-and-white photography project on her family’s farm. She merged the photos into a panoramic design. <\/p>\n

“I submitted my design in February, and hadn’t heard anything before school ended,” Grosh said. “I came home and opened a letter naming me as winner of the Northeast region of the U.S. I was quite surprised and pleased. <\/p>\n

“I was really delighted with the photographs and got a lot of positive feedback [in class],” Grosh said. <\/p>\n

“I think it’s neat that Celadon held this contest just for the sake of supporting the arts,” Grosh added. “The money came at a great time, as I am currently looking for work back home in Pennsylvania. I am hoping to use my photography skills, perhaps working in a studio or for a small company as their media\/communication person.” <\/p>\n

Internship provided real-world experience<\/h3>\n

Grosh interned in EMU’s marketing and communications department throughout her senior year. <\/p>\n

She’s credited with a number of photos used in marketing materials and on the university website’s many photo galleries of life on campus<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As a senior she was also one of three student video bloggers<\/a> on the university website. <\/p>\n
