Thirty years of alumni from that program have won Academy, Emmy, and Peabody awards, as well as Guggenheim, NEA and Fulbright fellowships. Appointed as the first Walker Evans Visiting Professor of Photography at Yale University in the mid-1970s, Liebling also helped establish the photography department at the University of Minnesota where he taught for many years. . . . short bio
