Plan Your Summer Now
Attention, journalism students and advisers! Join us this summer to polish your skills and connect with like-minded peers at the annual CSPA Summer Journalism Workshop. High school students and advisers may participate in person or online and may choose from four sessions this summer.
The Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) invites print and online publication staff to take part in its 41st annual Summer Journalism Workshop, offered with both in-person and virtual options. CSPA offers a week-long, in-person workshop in June on the Columbia campus, as well as three distinct virtual sessions in July. The annual workshop is organized by CSPA and hosted by Columbia University. Each session offers sequences focused on either writing, editing, management or advanced design.
The workshop is intended for secondary school students and teachers from schools in the U.S. and international schools following an American plan of education. Participation in the Workshop is open to all students and advisers from senior high schools, whether public, private, or faith-based. No junior high or middle school students are accepted, but advisers from these schools are welcome. Students must be entering into sophomore, junior or senior year in high school. Financial assistance is available for students who qualify.
Registration for this intensive program will open in January 2024.
Please note that the course curriculum is subject to change.
