BREAKING NEWS: You no longer have to be a member to take part in our monthly confabs.

Starting with our March session, non-members are welcome to sign up for a $50 fee. However, that $50 can go toward your membership dues if you choose to become a member.

Our confabs are virtual sessions where we bring in experts to discuss a variety of college media-related issues. This month, the topic is digital accessibility for student media.
