    Overview

    Ready to make media that matters? This summer, gain skills in storytelling and production, explore media’s influence on culture, and prepare for college success, all while creating content that sparks change.

    This two-week summer program will introduce you to college academic culture through the lens of media. You will explore how media shapes public opinion, influences culture, and impacts representation. Along the way, you will develop practical skills such as visual storytelling and media production to create compelling content.

    The program includes interactive workshops, engaging seminars, and small-group discussions. You will also participate in community learning projects that help you apply what you learn in real-world contexts. These experiences are designed to build your confidence in navigating college-level coursework, thinking critically, and producing media that matters.

    By the end of the two weeks, you will not only understand how media works, you will know how to use it to tell impactful stories.

    Hands-On Project: 

    Design an original media project that tells a powerful visual story and shows how media can shape the way people think and act

    Applicants to this program should be high school students who:

    • Are curious about media, culture, and communication.
    • Want to strengthen academic skills before college.
    • Enjoy creative projects and hands-on learning.
    • Are looking for a summer experience that is both fun and intellectually challenging.
