Why Get Involved?
This unique project provides an opportunity for Communication students to explore and deepen their understanding of religion and culture through a blend of field trips, engaging discussions, and immersive journalism experiences.
Below are just some of the perks of getting involved.
Field Trips
This school year will include three field trips. Students do not need to attend all three!
Trips will be to an Historic Black Church, a Sikh Gudwara and Buddhist Abbey.
The program may change depending on weather and scheduling.
Discussions
Through informal gatherings participants can engage in discussions and reflect on the knowledge gained during field trips while enjoying coffee, pizza, or other snacks.
Get Clips!
In this program, students can get published by sharing their photos, writing, and social media content. It’s a great opportunity for photographers, writers, and creators!
