CSPA Summer Journalism Workshop
'The Experiential Learning I Got at Columbia Changed My Life'
Student journalist Brady Ehrhart recounts how the CSPA Summer Journalism Workshop gave him the tools to lead and transform his school publication, The Owl’s Hoot, to win recognition as the best newspaper in his state.
CSPA events allow students to strengthen their skills and explore interests in other areas, while they meet other student journalists on the Columbia campus.
