During the summer, the Telecommunication, Information Studies & Media Department host week-long Media Summer Camps for high school and middle school students. They receive hands-on instruction and create their own projects in media collegiate and professional areas, including the fields of Web Design, Television Broadcasting, Video Game Design, 3D Animation, or Audio Recording. We believe these programs offer a substantial resource to the community, as well as provide a meaninful college experience to pre-college age students. As a result of attending these programs, students gain useful technology-related skills, survey a large research institution, and develop relationships with current University faculty and college-age students. Media Camps are STEAM-based programs (programs related to science, technology, engineering, art, and math) and are examined closely for their ability to impact students greater understanding and learning in other educational subjects. We believe students who attend pre-college programming are able to make more informed decisions about their college and career options, and have discovered students persist and maintain higher college retension rates if they pursue a degree in media or technology disciplines. 

As a loyal Spartan, we are hoping you will consider donating funds to assist students who cannot afford to attend pre-college programs. Every year, we receive letters from students and parents whose financial hardships exclude them or their children from attending MSU programs. 

Camp sponsorship can help provide a meaningful college experience through media interaction, intensive learning, and skill development.

Although there are varying Sponsorship levels, each with their own rewards, we welcome any donation size. You may sponsor as a corporation or as an individual. Please see the attached sponsorship packages.
