MIPA has run a summer program with our partners at the Michigan State University School of Journalism since 1984. We took our program online 2020 and 2021 in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. We are planning to return to the Michigan State University campus for summer 2022.
MIPA stands for the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association. We’re a statewide nonprofit group of middle and high school journalism and media production programs across the state. Our members are the school newspapers, yearbooks, video programs and news websites at schools all over the state of Michigan. We provide a variety of programming throughout the school year, including conferences and contests. We’ve been based in the MSU School of Journalism since 1982, but our organization was founded in 1921. Learn more about MIPA
