You’ve probably seen Michael Pierce on campus taking pictures at athletic events, outdoors or in research settings. In July, the University Photographers’ Association of America named Pierce the 2025 Mark A. Philbrick Photographer of the Year and winner of the 2025 Overall Annual Photo Contest during the association’s annual symposium in Tennessee.
Pierce received five awards, out of a possible six, for individual photos in multiple categories.
