in Humanities Center Room 15 during both regular semesters (Fall
and Spring) and is worth 4 units of transferable credit.

the students. These opportunities include field trips to off-campus
journalism conferences; participation in regional journalism competitions;
and notification of relevant scholarship competitions.
Each
semester ends with a "wrap" party with pop and pizza in the Student
Activities Center. In addition, each student who completes the "advanced
class" of Journalism 8L receives a "RamPage Staff" logo windbreaker
in the campus colors of burgundy and gold.
