verybody has a story. We rely on journalists to find and tell them.

Explore how to tell stories that make a difference, go beyond the surface and get to the truth at the MIPA Summer Journalism Workshop from July 26–30.

Spend five days on Michigan State University’s campus working with some of the best instructors in the nation. Then take what you learn back to your school newspaper, yearbook, video production or news website.

Don’t work on a student media staff? Our journalism-focused curriculum provides skills and techniques that you can apply in a variety of areas — from class to life. Become a better writer, explore print or digital media creation and find your voice.

You’ll make new friends for life, and we guarantee you’ll leave more energized than ever.

IT’S ALL [TRUE] We’re taking our inspiration for 2015 from the movies. You’ll get a chance to preview a studio film, talk to people about documentary filmmaking and explore storytelling techniques that you can use right away. We’ll also help you hone your writing, reporting, photography, design, video production techniques and digital media skills.

THERE’S NO BETTER SETTING THAN MSU Held on one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation, our workshop is the place you’ll want to be this summer. You’ll be in the center of a Big Ten campus — with a variety of extracurricular activities and places to visit during your free time.

DON’T GET LOST IN A CROWD OF EXTRAS

MSU may be a big place, but we keep our classes small so you’ll get all the individual help you need. You’ll learn the latest trends and innovations, plus get motivated and return home ready to make your student media the best it has ever been!

THE ACTION IS ON CAMPUS You’ll live and go to class on a college campus.

For those wishing to room with a friend, include his or her name on the registration form. Special dietary or housing needs? Let us know ASAP.

EASIER TO FIND THAN YOUR THEATER SEAT MSU is right in the middle of Michigan, with easy access by car, bus, train and plane.

A BETTER VALUE THAN A SUNDAY MATINEE We don’t think you’ll find a better workshop value in the Midwest. Registration includes three meals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; pizza Sunday night and breakfast Thursday; housing; tuition and a T-shirt.

HELP TO PAY FOR YOUR BLOCKBUSTER EXPERIENCE We’ve got some great fundraising ideas and tools, including MIPA’s SponsorMe crowdfunding system. Set up a SponsorMe account and raise money from the people you know toward your workshop registration.

MIPA is also excited to offer several scholarships. For more information on any of these funding opportunities, visit our website.
