Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) for Student Leaders are intensive academic programs whose purpose is to
provide groups of undergraduate student leaders with a deeper understanding of the United States, while
simultaneously enhancing their leadership skills. The Study of the U.S. Institute on New Media in Journalism
will train participants on how to gather and disseminate news and information across multiple platforms with
an emphasis on interactive delivery systems. Participants will study freedom of the press and freedom of
speech as defined by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, media law and ethics, and the role of
journalism in a democratic society. Participants will develop their leadership skills, learn to think analytically as
journalists and embrace continuous learning in a diverse and fast-changing society. The Institute is tentatively
scheduled from June 24 – July 29, 2012.
