| Cayla Thomlinson, Photographer
Cayla transferred to PSU from Seward County Community College to pursue a bachelor's degree in communication, with a minor in business. She is originally from Rolla, Kansas, where she enjoys going to the movies with her sister and boyfriend, walking around her small home
town with her sister, and spending time with her family. She recently got a puppy named Bear, but only gets to see him about once a month because the 7-hour drive keeps her in Pittsburg throughout most of the school year. When she's not shooting for the Kanza or Collegio, you may find her working at her other campus job in the Grubbs Hall photo lab. Her favorite color is green.

a job that would make use of his photographic skills,
and working for the Kanza and Collegio has done
just
that. Although he was apprehensive about coming to a new country, he's glad he decided to come to Pitt State. He's made many friends, and feels that "studying here
has been a very enriching experience." |
