Conferences
Each year, several hundred students from across South Carolina gather for SCSPA’s biannual conferences. Attendees choose three educational sessions to attend from a wide range of offerings led by students, adviser, professors and media professionals. After a lunch break, the day concludes with our awards program.
It’s more than a field trip – it’s an opportunity for your staff to explore a college campus, sharpen their storytelling skills, and strengthen their bond as a team.
