On-site critiques
[expand title=”click on arrow for more info”]
On-site critiques have been one of the most popular features of the fall conferences in previous years. Sitting down with an expert publication adviser to review your work can lead to new insights and clearer goals for the upcoming year. We will have tables ready for your staff to meet and review your yearbook, newspaper, news magazine, website or broadcast program. Come armed with questions to make the most of your 20-minute session. All of this for only $15! Sign up when you register for the conference.

Can you present or provide critiques?
[expand title=”click on arrow for more info”]
We need you and your talents to make these conferences as excellent as possible! Whether you are a new adviser or a veteran, a professional or an academic, the students of Kansas want to hear from you.
The window to volunteer to speak and critique has passed. Thanks!
One of our most popular programs at the conference — year after year — is giving students the opportunity to sit down with an adviser for a 20-minute critique. So, we also need volunteers to critique yearbooks, newspapers, news magazines, websites and broadcasts.
KSPA is also recruiting speakers for our three fall conference hosts. We would love to have your suggestions of teachers, professors, media professionals and journalists. Perhaps you even know a student or group of students — from high school or college — who have an interesting message for a presentation. We are excited to hear your ideas. Or, you can simply fill out the form at the link below.
ADVISERS: you get your registration fee waived by presenting a session. Or you can have it waived by critiquing two publications!
Please chip in by volunteering to present a 50-minute session at the fall conference. Or, perhaps you could provide a 20-minute critique of a student publication from one of our member schools.
Help from volunteers like you make the KSPA fall conferences possible. Thanks so much!
