Open House for the Baylor School of Social Work was Wednesday, March 16, at the school’s new location, 811 Washington Ave. in downtown Waco. The open house featured the acclaimed “You Are What You Eat” photo exhibit by award-winning photographer and Baylor social work graduate Mark Menjivar, Dean Diana R. Garland, Baylor Provost Elizabeth Davis and City of Waco Mayor Jim Bush welcomed the public.

The “You Are What You Eat” exhibit follows the debut of Menjivar’s newest series at the Waco Art Center, through March. Titled “Salvador,” the project documents the rural community of Valle Nuevo in El Salvador and the ongoing work of World Hunger Relief Inc. in that country.

“The portraits are of the rich and the poor. Vegetarians, Republicans, members of the National Rifle Association, those left out, the under appreciated, former soldiers in Hitler’s SS, dreamers, and many more. We never know the full story of one’s life,” Menjivar said.
