The members of the Kashmir workshop who remained on campus presented their work to other EXPOSURE members and to the wider Tufts community. Some showed their photos and spoke about their work; others chose to pair their photos with a reading of their written work. This was an interesting and well-attended event that served to introduce new members to EXPOSURE workshops and raise awareness of EXPOSURE's work in the campus community.

Program:
The workshop provided EXPOSURE members with a great introduction to digital imaging. Attendees were divided into groups to work on "beginner" and "advanced" elements of digital photo development and printing and worked on the computers to print their own photos. This workshop gave EXPOSURE a tangible way to learn more about the world of digital photography and the group hopes to continue to participate in these workshops in the coming years.
Earlier this month, Midshipmen attended a symposium on civil-military relations hosted by the Institute for Global Leadership at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
This Saturday, the Tufts Democrats, in conjunction with the Alliance Linking Leaders in Education and the Services (ALLIES), will host their annual Issues of the Future Symposium, "The Challenges and Dilemmas of Civil-Military Relations in the 21st Century." A plethora of speakers will address this most important of issues, and I encourage anyone remotely interested to attend and hear from the experts.
EWB-Tufts students presented their projects to the Technical Advisory Committee of Engineers Without
Borders-USA for review and approval to carry out the project. A team of engineers and advisors commented
on the proposed plans and gave suggestions on how to improve designs. Both teams were approved to
travel.

New York City
Program:
This was the most important event for EXPOSURE in the fall semester. Group members traveled down to New York by bus and car, where they visited galleries, took a tour of the New York Times building, guided by NYT photo director Michele McNally, and engaged in a long discussion with Angel Franco, a NYT photographer. The group also met with World Press Photographer Stephen Mayes. Group members felt the experience was immensely valuable, both in terms of educational worth and its contribution to the group dynamic. EXPOSURE plans to do NYC trips once each semester in the future.

Program:
Professor Ronnie Olesker facilitated a policy simulation, of her own design, in which students assumed the roles of various actors throughout the Middle East and engaged in decision-making processes and negotiations, simulating those that occur in the Middle East today. The purpose of the simulation was to give students a better understanding of the various factors that influence policy and actions in the Middle East and the complexities of such decision-making processes.
