Let’s Stew’dis: Wrapping Up Career Builder Week
Career Builder Week ended on a high note with Let’s Stew’dis, a community meal that brought students together over bowls of stew and salsa. Oddonniss’s photos highlight the laughter, full plates, and spirit of togetherness that closed out a week focused on growth, careers, and connection.
Paint + Talk: Reflecting and Creating
Next, Oddonniss joined the Paint + Talk event, hosted by the Student Wellness Center. Students gathered in a talking circle, sharing their thoughts on the first month of school while painting custom Diné College tote bags. His photos captured the quiet focus of painting, the joy of conversation, and the creativity students brought to the canvas.
Cowboy Coffee Night: Welcoming Fall Around the Fire
Finally, Oddonniss wrapped up the week by attending Cowboy Coffee Night at the Cottonwood Hall firepit. Students celebrated the first day of fall with coffee brewed over an open fire, enjoying the crisp evening together. Oddonniss’s lens caught the warmth of the fire, the steam of the coffee, and the smiles of friends gathered under the night sky.
