Kay Krieghbaum Memorial Photographic Contest
Kay Kreighbaum was a promising young photographer when she was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 1969, shortly after graduation from NU. She first flourished as a photographer at Northwestern while taking a course at Medill. Her enthusiasm and dedication to photojournalism inspired this event.
