High School Media Workshop set to return in ’23

After a two-year absence because of COVID-19, the Murray State High School Media Workshop will return to campus in 2023.

The High School Media Workshop is planned for Wednesday, March 15 on the third floor of the Curris Center. This workshop connects high school media students with JMC faculty, who offer workshops to enhance what the students learn in their high school media classes.

In recent years, the workshop has attracted nearly 250 high school students and their advisers.
