Summer workshop reinvented

KEMPA is excited to offer two ways to give your students the writing, photography and design skills they need to create sucessful publications. Starting this summer, two types of workshops are being offered.

The first, a traditional multi-day event held on the UW-Whitewater campus, will be held July 20-23 (click here for more details, including registration forms). The second, a custom one- or two-day workshop, will take place at host schools requesting sessions on the date(s) they need. Click here for more about hosting a KEMPA workshop at your school.

Scholarship money is available. Click here for the student scholarship application, or here for the adviser scholarship.
