"Everyone's mood just brightened up as people ran around the campus with big coats and even bigger smiles." Emmanuel Aquino Sophomore
"I think the snow made me most excited because it reminds me of home. Portland doesn't get snow, just rain. Lots of rain. So when it does snow it is something special." Jenny Doyle Junior
"The campus is beautiful in any season. Snow highlights another perspective we don't normally experience. And since we're in Portland, it's a fleeting experience, so there are not too many opportunities to capture images of the moment." Bob Kerns Freelance University Photographer
"We ended up building a snowman in the likeness of one of our professors. We also had a snowball fight with friends. It felt to me almost like a traditional snow day when we would go outside and sled, build snow forts and snowmen. " Douglas Chun Junior
"I don't have class until 11:20 a.m., so I walked around campus enjoying the snow! I made a snow angel and threw snowballs at my friend Will, just because I could. It put me in a good mood early and that stuck even after the snow melted. The fact that snow is rare is what makes it so exciting. I'm from California where it doesn't snow, so it was amazing to wake up to a winter wonderland!" Allie Rackerby Sophomore
