Select a ticket below to register.

Media Advisers: Come visit your students at the MIPA Summer Journalism Workshop! Each year, MIPA invites advisers to visit on the Tuesday of workshop week. You’ll get to have lunch with your students, visit their classes and check on their progress.  Adviser Day Schedule  |  Background Check Authorization Form | Other Adviser Resources

MIPA will provide you with a lunch ticket and a parking pass for the day. We will email you more information about Adviser Day the week before our event. Because of university rules, your students may not leave campus during the workshop.

Background Check Authorization

Michigan State University rules require all employees, volunteers, contractors and other adults who have contact with minors at a campus youth program pass a criminal background check within 12 months of the program. All Adviser Day visitors must complete and submit the background check authorization form at least one week in advance. Learn more about this policy here.
