This is not your typical MIPA Conference. There’s no bus ride to Lansing. No one will have to sit on the floor when the chairs run out. You can attend as many sessions as you like. And you can do it all whenever you want. It’s the MIPA Un-Conference of your dreams!
Immerse yourself in journalism and media as you select from pre-recorded lessons and live sessions by top educators and journalists. This on-demand library of materials will be available to you to use this entire school year. Sessions start to roll out Oct. 26.
Program materials are housed on MSU’s online course system, which requires event registration via MIPA’s website and creation of a user account on MSU’s system.

Accommodations for persons with disabilities may be requested by contacting Jeremy Steele, MIPA executive director, at 517-353-6761 or [email protected] at least 10 business days prior to the start of our program so that we have time to make necessary arrangements.
