Photojournalist Stephen Alvarez of Sewanee will be the 2016 Bishop Reynolds Forum speaker at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee. His talk, which is open to the public, will be at 8 a.m., Wednesday, March 30, in McCrory Hall for the Performing Arts.
A 1983 graduate of the school and a current parent, Alvarez spent his life exploring and photographing the world. He is an award-winning National Geographic photographer and filmmaker who produces global stories about exploration, culture, religion, archeology and the aftermath of conflict. He has published more than a dozen feature stories in National Geographic.
Alvarez has produced stories with National Public Radio, including a story on underground Paris that won a 2012 White House News Photographers Association award.
The Bishop Reynolds Forum brings a prominent speaker to campus each year to engage students and the community in a topic of current interest. The Bishop Reynolds Forum was established through an endowment in memory of The Rt. Rev. George Reynolds, the late Bishop of Tennessee and a former SAS trustee and parent. His daughter, Katherine, was a member of the Class of 1988.
