Communicating the Story of You 

On-Campus Workshop for High School Students

Wednesday, June 24, and Thursday, June 25, 2026

9 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day

Marquette University’s Johnston Hall (1131 W. Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee)

Marquette University's Diederich College of Communication invites high school students to participate in a two-day, on-campus workshop where they'll use the art of storytelling to learn more about Marquette, the field of communication, media and themselves.

Students will participate in hands-on learning about media careers with leading-edge tools to discover and share their strengths, all with the guidance of Diederich College of Communication faculty. Students will also go on trips each day to local newsrooms and agencies to experience what they are learning LIVE. Key workshop components will teach students to:

• Discover their personal brand! Branding is an important part of strategic communication and developing their personal brand helps them represent their best, authentic self.

• Celebrate their story by sharing who they are through multimedia platforms, including video, audio, print and social. This exercise will help students become familiar with potential careers in strategic communication, digital media and journalism.
