Previous Trips

This is the SoCJ's overseas reporting opportunity. During the weeks-long program, students travel with faculty to experience and report on life in different cultures around the globe. All travel and accommodation expenses are funded by the Marie Colvin Center. 

The trip takes place during summer or winter break, and requires students to take a 3-credit on-campus course to learn about the country they'll be traveling to and to begin to lay the groundwork for finding and reporting stories.

This selective program is offered in partnership with the Stony Brook Study Abroad Office.
