Maymester
Students engage with industry professionals at the world’s most important media, communication, and technology companies from Google to Good Morning America.

An Insider’s View
During the Maymester program, students listen in on the planning behind national campaigns, talk with executive suite leaders, and bounce ideas off creative strategists. Through the two-week experience, they get to glimpse firsthand the convergence and disruption in media, communication and web technologies — and imagine their possible place in it.
Applications for the Spring 2023 Maymester programs are due Friday, November 4 at 5 p.m. PST.
Apply for our Maymesters in Washington, D.C., NYC, Media Economics and Entrepreneurship (M{2e}), and Sports here.
