CSPA Spring Convention

This national gathering of student editors and faculty advisers representing newspapers, websites, yearbooks, magazines, and broadcast media will be held at Columbia from March 17-19, 2027. The event will offer more than 220 sessions over three days of programming, a critique room, and workshops.

Delegates may choose from more than 220 sessions organized in seven sequences: newspaper, online media, yearbook, magazine, video/broadcasting, law and ethics, and advisers. All seven sequences will run simultaneously throughout the three days of the convention. 

CSPA will also offer an on-site critique service, special half-day workshops,  and a student swap shop, where students may meet to exchange ideas.
