The Columbia Scholastic Press Association invites print and online staffs to take part in its 41st annual Summer Journalism Workshop - offered this year with both in-person and virtual options.

Each participant, whether student or adviser, will have access to content focusing on either writing, editing, management, or advanced design.

Registration for this intensive program will open soon, once we finalize the details of this return to in-person programming. A virtual option will also be available for those who are unable to meet on campus.
