Hi! I’m Elena, the Program Director for WJMC, and I’m taking over the account today because it’s the FINAL day to register!

WJMC is more than a summer program. It’s where future journalists, storytellers, producers, and media leaders find their voice.

You won’t just learn about journalism and media, you’ll experience it. You’ll engage with industry professionals, explore career paths, and connect with ambitious students from across the country who care deeply about truth, storytelling, and impact.

I’ve seen students leave WJMC more confident, more focused, and more inspired about their futures, and I would love for you to be one of them. WJMC changed my life, and I truly believe it can do the same for you.

If you’ve been thinking about applying, this is your moment. Don’t let it pass.

Deadline = today
