During her spring break trip to South Korea, student Joanna Barnett checked out the offerings at the Digital Pavilion, an exhibition hall featuring futuristic technology. To learn more about travel courses, the school is sponsoring an info session Sept. 23.

Last spring, journalism students headed to Asia, Europe and South America to learn more about media in those countries, blending their classroom learning with real-world experience.

Those who are interested in taking one of those classes next spring should attend an informational session at 7:15 p.m. Sept. 23 in the Ernie Pyle Hall auditorium, said Director of Experiential Learning and Recruitment Kathleen Lee.

Students and faculty who participated in last spring’s courses will form a panel to talk about their experiences and answer questions.

The four classes are:

• From London to Paris: In the footsteps of Ernie Pyle: Students travel to England and France, retracing some of the famous World War II correspondent’s path.
• International Public Relations: Students travel to Japan to explore the media culture, visit professional organizations and network with alumni.
• Technology, Change and News: Students travel to Seoul, South Korea, to explore ways to use new technological tools to create innovative news coverage.
• Media in Latin America: Messages and Moguls, Dictators and Democracy: Students travel to Santiago, Chile, in May.
