The week creates an experience that is educationally enriching as well as personally enjoyable. Home base is the scenic 410-acre campus of the University of California at Los Angeles in one of the most upscale sections of Los Angeles. UCLA offers unparalleled recreational and educational facilities. Each session begins with a preview of the week's events and an overview of the media industry by Workshop faculty. The week's program centers on a day at a leading motion picture studio, a dress rehearsal or taping of at least one major network TV program and a visit to a major metropolitan newspaper.
Chartered buses transfer students to media locations across Southern California.
Several presentations are given by prominent media figures who share their expert insights. Students are given plenty of time for personal questions and discussion. Free time is built into the heavy schedule to allow for picture taking and enjoyment of some of Southern California's major attractions. Workshop counseling staff always accompany the students during all scheduled activities. Upon returning to campus, students have the opportunity to relax and share their thoughts with other students from throughout North America.
