Learn it. Live it. Love it.
July 28-Aug. 1, 2013 | MIPA Summer Journalism Workshop | Michigan State University
We get you.
We know journalism is more than just another class or club activity at your school.
That’s why you should attend the MIPA Summer Journalism Workshop. MIPA camp has everything you need to prepare for a year on your journalism staff. You’ll learn from some of the best instructors in the nation and live for a week on one of the coolest campuses. We guarantee you’ll love your time here.
MSU is an awesome place for a workshop
Held on the most beautiful campus in the Midwest (yes, we’re biased), the MIPA Summer Journalism Workshop is the place you’ll want to be this summer. You’ll be able to visit all the cool spots on campus, including the MSU Dairy Store and the International Center, where you’ll find a food court and the Spartan Bookstore.
Enjoy the small class sizes
We keep our classes small so you’ll get all the individual help you need. You’ll learn the latest trends and innovations, plus get motivated and return home ready to make your student media the best it has ever been!
- Newspaper classes
- Yearbook classes
- Video/Broadcast classes
- Photography classes
- New Media/Online classes
Staying in the dorm is a blast
You’ll live on campus while attending the workshop, and you’ll be supervised by workshop personnel. For those wishing to room with a friend, include his or her name on the registration form. Special dietary or housing needs? Let us know ASAP.
MSU is easy to find
Get directions and maps of campus. Non-commuting students are not allowed to have cars on campus. You should be dropped off at the workshop on Sunday and picked up on Thursday at noon. If you’re arriving via train, bus or plane, please make your own arrangements for transportation to and from campus.
Cost includes everything
We don’t think you’ll find a better workshop value in the Midwest. The registration fee includes three square meals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and breakfast on Thursday; housing; tuition for the course and a T-shirt. Not sure if your school is a member of MIPA? Take a look or call us at 517-353-6761. Our workshop fee is competitive; check around.
We’ve also got some great fundraising ideas (including our online pledge system) and scholarships.
