    Stephen Alvarez '83

    Two giant photographs hang in the St. Andrew's Chapel. These canvases depict scenes not normally displayed in a house of worship, scenes of poverty and the threat of violence. The pictures are the work of SAS alumnus and photojournalist Stephen Alvarez '83, part of his 2006 SAS Gallery show, "Through the Glass Darkly: Conflict and Aftermath on the Sudan - Uganda Border." Alvarez made his name as an adventure photographer for National Geographic and Outdoor magazines, but it was while accompanying a friend on a trip to Uganda that he found the images that would become his calling. Stephen recently returned to SAS to update the school on his involvement in Uganda and on how we can continue to help.
