University photographer Lindsay France has garnered a gold medal in the Individual Photographs category from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), which selects universities for awards in several areas of communications, alumni relations and fundraising.

Her winning photograph, taken at Cornell Homecoming, Sept. 24-26, was chosen from 59 entries. The photo of a cheerleader framed by running football players was taken during Freshman on the Field, where the freshmen are invited to line up and cheer on the team as it enters Schoellkopf Stadium.

"This is a wonderful recognition for the years of beautiful photographs Lindsay has produced for Cornell," said Robert Barker, director of University Photography.

France, who has been photographing for Cornell since 2006, also won a silver medal from CASE in 2008.
