The purpose of the workshop is to give high school students experience that teaches them more about college life and a career in media. Students who will be in the 9th grade through freshman year in college in fall 2010 are eligible to attend the June workshop. The program is free and the University supplies housing, meals and field trips, as well as top-notch, intensive instruction by industry professionals. Transportation to and from Tuscaloosa is the student’s responsibility.
