MPA Magazine University, formerly known as Seminar Series For Magazine Interns

June 23, 2009

A comprehensive summer seminar series

What is MPA's Magazine University? This program provides interns with an exceptional opportunity to learn about the wide world of magazine publishing. Featuring top magazine executives, this summer series provides interns with an insider's look at how the magazine industry really works. Why interns should attend Magazine University:

Provides a broad overview of the magazine business
Gives interns a chance to meet their peers
Helps develop--and potentially retain--talent
Keeps interns excited about applying for magazine jobs after college

Now in its 34th year, Magazine University is highly rated by interns and supervisors alike as an important part of any magazine internship.

Interns can attend one or all five of the sessions to receive an MU certificate of completion, which will be awarded on Wednesday, July 29.

Fees: $35 per intern, per session or $150 per intern to attend all five sessions (a savings of $25).
*Alumni and supervisors can sign up for the Certificate Ceremony and Alumni Reunion Luncheon on Wednesday, July 29. The luncheon is already included for interns registered for Session E.

Space is limited and registrations will be accepted on first-come, first-served basis.
