Environmental Journalism Activities
The Environmental Journalism program is involved in numerous ongoing activities. Students can become involved in research, outreach and international activities.
Each year the Environmental Journalism program organizes a Great Lakes Environmental Journalism Training Institute for twenty-five environmental journalists from the U.S. and Canada. This institute is held at MSU's Kellogg Center and the School of Journalism and brings together more than 20 environmental, scientific and journalistic experts to teach about Great Lakes environmental issues. Students are needed to help organize further programs for the Institute. By participating in the program, students are exposed to environmental journalists and become aware of the trends, needs, and resources in the field.
The Environmental Journalism program has recently completed the largest survey ever done on environmental journalism in the United States to date. Future projects will examine environmental journalism in other nations. Student assistance is vital for the success of these research projects.
The North American office of the International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ) is located at MSU. Members are located in over 100 countries and students can assist in organizing international conferences and communication among international journalists.
There are also numerous on-campus environmental organizations/programs in which students can become involved. Some examples are the Land and Water Systems Partnership, the Michigan Sea Grant College Program and the Institute for Environmental Toxicology.
