One and a half week ago, Mario Wezel participated in the CPOY/POY award ceremony, which was hosted in Columbia, Missouri at Mizzou University.
Mario accepted his College Photographer of the Year award, some free gear from Nikon and he gave a speech for about 50 people.
Here are few snapshots from the day by another former student, Kristen Zeis.
