The Student Voice recently teamed up with the Intro to Basic Photojournalism class to foster a visually versatile student news publication. These are a few of the best photos taken this spring. From personal photo essays to on-campus events, these photojournalists brought a whole new level of visual variety to both print and online stories.

The following photos were selected by Photo Editor of the Student Voice Gabrielle Biasi and Karen Quincy Loberg, new professor of Intro to Basic Photojournalism and photojournalist at the Ventura County Star.
