Summer Workshops

What are summer workshops?

If selected to join one of our staffs, attending a summer workshop is highly recommended and encouraged. Workshops help prepare you for the coming year by allowing you to sharpen your skills or teach you new ones. Workshops are a must if you plan on taking on a role of Editor in Chief.

Most workshops offer scholarships, so look for those on their websites and pay attention to due dates. I'm happy to write you a recommendation letter if needed.
