What are you waiting for??
Registration is OPEN to attend CoJMC’s Washington DC Media Tour. The theme is politics. The tour, which is open to ALL CoJMC majors, will be March 23-25, but plan on arriving in DC on March 22 because you won’t want to miss a moment of this experience…Promise.
This media tour is structured the same way as last fall’s NYC Media Tour where you meet professionals of industry and learn more about the world of mass communications.
You have until February 28 to register for the trip. Just go to 147 Andersen and Nicole will help you out with insurance and required paperwork.
You will be responsible for your own airfare, hotel, food, insurance costs, and optional ticket to Saturday’s visit of The Newseum.
