    Overview

    Discover the World of Communication at American University offers interactive workshops for students entering grades 9-12 where you will learn to build a digital portfolio, write a script, shoot and edit a film, write a news story like a pro, speak with confidence, persuade, inform, educate, and entertain.

    All of our professional, hands-on workshops are taught by American University School of Communication faculty and communication professionals.

    During class and after hours, you will have the ability to explore the city from a variety of angles. View live television and radio broadcasts at local studios such as NBC4, WTTG Fox 5, NPR, and ESPN Radio, cover a Nationals baseball game or WNBA game from a press seat, and tour local attractions including the National Zoo, the Newseum, National Cathedral, Georgetown, and the Smithsonian museums.

    Discover the World of Communication will offer on campus summer opportunities through National Student Leadership Conference. Please visit our website for more information and stay tuned for 2022 offerings.
