Go Places With NLGJA'S 2008 Washington, DC Student Project

Don't just watch election news from the sidelines this summer. Join the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association in the nation's capital for an exciting out-of-classroom experience that will jump start your journalism/communications career.

Taking place August 19-24 in Washington, DC, NLGJA's 2008 Student Project will be an opportunity for students to refine their skills, build their portfolios and expand their professional networks during one of the country's largest gatherings of media movers and shakers. Student
Project participants are paired with professional mentors to report, photograph and design the daily print, TV and radio news of NLGJA's National Convention.

Once accepted, NLGJA covers travel, lodging, food and convention registration expenses for each student's attendance in Washington, DC. Additionally, each accepted student is given a free one-year, all-access NLGJA membership.

The deadline for this year's program has just been extended to Friday, April 11. Visit http://nlgjaconvention.org/joomla/ to see coverage produced by last year's Student Project, and download an application for this year's program at http://nlgja.org/students/studentproject.htm.
