For the past 10 years, this immersive experience has provided an opportunity for aspiring media professionals to delve into the heart of their field, beyond the familiar confines of our Central Texas campus. The trip focuses on cultivating insights and forging connections pivotal to their professional development. A notable highlight of this mission is engaging with SJMC alumni from Texas State University who have flourished in New York City's dynamic media landscape. These encounters not only offered wisdom and first-hand experiences but also underscored the transformative impact of education and perseverance.
