Year three of the Emerging Journalists Program at Elon University starts tonight – Jan. 16 – with its first virtual workshop. But good news: There’s still time for your students to apply for our workshops and our free, fun and immersive summer experience that’s scheduled for June 17-28, 2024. This on-campus residential learning workshop is open to rising seniors from diverse socio-economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds. And, again, it’s completely free, thanks to a generous grant from the Scripps Howard Fund. EJP pays for students’ travel, lodging, meals and instructional materials, so now’s the time for your students to submit their applications.
Last year’s summer cohort produced a newspaper, a 40-minute newscast and a website. Here’s a snapshot of what our students did while on campus with us.
If you think the Emerging Journalists Program would interest your students, please have them apply at www.elon.edu/ejp. And if you’d like to talk more, please reach out to Colin Donohue (cdonohue@elon.edu) or Kelly Furnas (kfurnas@elon.edu). We’ll begin to review applications for the summer soon, and we hope to see some from your students.
Thank you.Â
