June 21–23, 2017The Union Summer Journalism Day Camp is a three-day, half-day camp which will allow high school students the opportunity to study and experience journalism with Union's award-winning faculty and students. Camp attendees will study magazine and feature writing, immersion journalism, and news reporting, and will have a "hands-on" opportunity to interview, write and edit stories in Union's Jennings Hall Publication Lab.
The camp experience will culminate in the chance to publish articles on Union's award-winning daily news site, Cardinal & Cream - allowing students to compile polished portfolio pieces, which will be helpful as they take the next step in their journalistic endeavors! Parents and family will be encouraged to view their completed work at www.cardinalandcream.org.

Ted is an assistant professor of Communication Arts at Union, and is the author of twenty books on topics ranging from Mike Tyson to the Evangelical Church.
