Collaboration Program

Quill and Scroll’s Student Journalism Collaboration Program aims to connect student journalists from across the nation. Through virtual meetings, participants will discuss, collaborate and troubleshoot with their peers about scholastic journalism issues pertaining to their student media.

Sorry advisers, this is a student-only offering.

Student Advisory Board Applications for the 2024-25 school year:

Board applications for the 2024-2025 school year are due Sept. 27, 2024 (new date!).

The purpose of the Quill and Scroll Advisory Board is threefold: 

  1. To plan and execute a nation-wide pro-journalism activity every year in conjunction with the Journalism Education Association, the national journalism teachers’ organization.
  2. To provide counsel to Quill and Scroll chapters around the world about possible activities for their chapters.
  3. To provide counsel to the Quill and Scroll Associate Director about the organization’s membership benefits, contests and other activities.

The activities should:

  • Promote and embody at least one of the eight lights in the Quill and Scroll induction ceremony: Truth, Leadership, Loyalty, Initiative, Integrity, Judgment, Friendship and Learning.
  • Bring together Quill and Scroll chapter members from across a school and across the world to work on a unified project.
  • Reach out to the school and/or community from which a chapter draws its students.
  • Have a broader impact in promoting the ideals of scholastic journalism, as they relate to the eight lights.

Applications are now open and are due Sept. 27. If you have questions about joining the Quill and Scroll SAB for 2024-2025, please contact Lori Keekley at [email protected] or call (612) 200-9295 more information.
