Course Materials!
In an effort to make the most of your experience at the Maryland-District of Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s Summer Journalism Program, we ask that you bring several items to the program.
Participants should review the list below and bring the items associated with the course of enrollment. You need not worry if you do not have writing or publication samples. The writing samples are helpful in critiquing your work, while the publication samples enable the instructor to be cognizant of your school's standards.
Questions or concerns with the information listed should be directed to Marchelle Payne-Gassaway at (301) 405-8321 or mpayne@jmail.edu
