Wild and Wonderful J-School Program

The Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism has partnered with the Adventure WV program at WVU to offer a unique orientation program designed for first-year direct admit journalism students.

The program offers participants diverse experiences and opportunities to learn about themselves, future classmates, the School of Journalism, WVU and the state of West Virginia – while creating long-lasting connections with upperclassmen and faculty.

During the summer program, participants travel throughout the state of West Virginia to learn more about the problems and issues affecting West Virginia residents and to better understand the role that news organizations play in covering small communities. As aspiring journalists, students need to learn about diversity and inclusiveness, and the Adventure WV: J-School program provides a great start.
