J-Term Info Session: Sports Journalism Baseball April 3

Attend an informational meeting for the 2026 J-Term study tour Sports Journalism: Baseball at noon to 12:20 p.m. Thursday, April 3, in room 412 of Lentz Hall.

Come and learn more about the tour, and have your questions answered.

Tour description:

Students will learn about and engage in sports journalism as they attend and write about baseball games on the West Coast (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle). Students will attend at least five major league games, meet with baseball writers and industry executives, and tour sports facilities in each city.

Course assignments include the opportunity to document the games using several forms of sports communication: blogs, podcasting, photojournalism, and social media. The study tour includes other sports games (as available), and optional cultural activities including museums, parks, and historical sites. The course is designated as Writing Intensive and would be especially valuable for students interested in careers in sports media, sports business, marketing, or public relations. The tour leaves just after graduation but counts as a J-Term course.
