Website: summerjournalism.org

Interested in writing, photography or current events? Looking for an experience to inspire your college essays? Or hoping to explore a world-class city with new friends this summer?

If so, check out the Boston University Summer Journalism Academy. It’s a program created and run by Boston University, one of the country’s top journalism schools, where high school students:

• Learn from award-winning, working journalists — including two who have shared in Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting;

• Report on actual events around Boston or (for learn-from-home students) your hometown.

• Place stories with Boston’s Daily Free Press, one of the country’s top college newspapers; and

• Improve their writing, interviewing, and research skills — applicable for any major and career.

The academy offers two options: an on-campus, residential program over three weeks for students with journalism experience, and a learn-from-home program over two weeks for all experience levels. For students interested in photography, we offer a special photojournalism track for both.

What it’s like:

Classroom starts each day with a review of journalism fundamentals

in a collegiate format. A universitylevel journalism textbook provides daily readings and writing assignments. Instructors cover: story ideas; sources and research; interviewing; writing leads; story structure; writing for broadcast and web; accuracy; libel; ethics; and more.

Newsroom, scheduled before lunch, provides time for students to apply what they learn in the Classroom to hands-on journalism assignments. Instructors — now serving as editors — divide students into small reporter teams, make assignments, and provide strategies for interviews and story angles.

Guest Talks offer students advice and insight from journalism experts in topics such as radio reporting, media law and studying journalism in college. On-campus students also visit city newsrooms to hear from reporters where they work, such as WBUR public radio and the Boston Globe.

Photojournalism-track students experience a similar schedule as other students but their focus will be on the basics of using a camera (provided for on-campus students) and capturing images to accompany news stories.

Health and Society Institute

This program examines the interplay of science, medicine, and the experience of health and illness by way of epistemological questions — “How do we know what we know?” — to appreciate not only what becomes defined and recognized as a disease, but the power relationships that produce these effects. This program takes up current and historical examples to interrogate how the benefits of advances in science and medicine remain unequally shared, while exploring critical tools social scientists have offered as possible interventions. Major themes from this session will address biomedicine as a cultural system, the politics of surveillance and care, the performance and rituals of healing, the structure of the US

public health system, and others. Students will be engaging with work from a range of scholars, including anthropologists, philosophers, historians, physicians, scientists, and journalists, also with an eye to how these perspectives can inform the health experience of living in New York City.

Students will also take a concurrent course on understanding the lived experiences of health and wellness through qualitative research techniques.

Sustainable Food Institute

Barnard’s 2-Week Sustainable Food and the City introduces students to the U.S food system, examining food production, distribution, consumption, and waste management through four key lenses: agriculture; health, policy and justice; food systems and climate change; and soil health. Each week, students will explore farms all across the city and New York state to learn hands-on from farmers growing our food. The program will invite experts and professionals from each unit to guide student’s learning experience. Students will take a deep dive into each of these units to imagine a food system that produces food in an ecologically mindful way while supporting our communities and the planet.

Online

Online students explore majors and pursue academic interests from the comfort of home – or from anywhere life takes them. All online courses have synchronous classes on a weekly basis, ranging from as few as one to as many as four synchronous classes per week. Students can expect to complete up to 10 hours of asynchronous work per week in addition to the classes.

Hybrid Students in Summer College

– Hybrid courses have the best of both On Campus and Online formats with these 6-week courses. Students begin their Hybrid courses with 2- weeks of immersive coursework on campus. They then complete their coursework in the less intensive online format for the remaining 4- weeks from the comfort of your their own home –or wherever life takes them!

Student Testimonials:

“The Pre-College program truly challenged me to become better. It allowed me to interact with the world from a different perspective, preparing me for college life and adulthood. Although It was difficult to leave my mother, the school and students welcomed me with open arms. I adore the culture established within Syracuse University - everyone there truly feels like family.”

- Kidest M., 2022

“Life changing. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Summer College. I say this because it truly opened my mind up to new opportunities. The engaging classes and projects showed me that there is so much more out there and that there are so many paths in life.”

- Soniya S., 2020
