Student Clubs

 

The School of Journalism proudly sponsors several clubs for journalism students interested in taking their learning and involvement beyond the classroom. You’ll open yourself to possible fellowships, internships, and scholarships by being a part of these and other organizations!

National Association of Hispanic Journalists

The student chapter works to increase the recruitment and involvement of young Hispanic journalists and to enable all journalists to better cover their diverse communities. Our chapter works with The New York Times Student Journalism Institute, which in 2012 chose the School of Journalism as the exclusive site for its 12-day training to be held every other year in May.

Sports Journalists

While a national organization of sports journalists does not exist, some journalism students are eager to create an interest club. This club may be associated with the Society of Professional Journalists, as a sports caucus. These students will be participating in the all-clubs leadership training and more information will be forthcoming. Watch the JSchool listserv and notices in the Marshall Building.
