will also be invited to attend small group activities with professionals
in the journalism field.
Such opportunities have included viewing live tapings of political shows such as Meet The Press, This Week, The McLaughlin Group and MSNBC's Hardball.

“My favorite outing was a trip taken with a small group of my peers to see a taping of Face the Nation. We got to sit in the control room and watch the controlled chaos that comes with switching cameras, cueing commercial breaks, and repairing mistakes. Then following the taping we were honored with a visit by the very congenial and accommodating Bob Schieffer. It was such a thrill not only to get to meet one of the legends of the craft, but to have a meaningful dialogue with him as well!”
