Your Adventure Starts Here!

What is Yearbook University?


Yearbook University is the ultimate education in yearbook journalism and leadership for yearbook advisers, editors, and staff members that want to make their yearbook the best one possible.

This three-day workshop is focused on leadership and planning for your 2012 yearbook. Advisers should attend and bring their main editors, business managers, design editors, photo editors, and other leaders on staff. All of the decision makers should be there as a team.  New staff members also have a lot to contribute, so you should invite your entire staff.

We will do lots of theme concept, design ideas, coverage planning, and business planning for your 2012 yearbook.

Is it all work?

Nope, fun and yearbook camp go hand in hand. You’ll make new friends, bond with your staff, and join in on all the cool things we have for you to do. The Yearbook Adventure Games on Monday will be an incredibly fun time as you solve challenges and gel as a team.  We also have fun activities each night, such as the Yearbook Bonfire, the Swimming Pool Party, Ice Cream Social, The People’s Choice Voting, and The Great Book Exchange.

Expert Guidance

Our main instructor,, Casey Nichols, is one of the best in the nation.  You can read his entire profile here.

In fact, you will have an entire team of yearbook professionals there to help you develop your dream, book and give you the tools to make it happen.  Your local Yearbook Reps will be there along with Jennifer Corum, plant consultant from Visalia.

You will receive cover art and designing service from a professional artist who will help you illustrate your theme with graphics and related visual concepts to take back with you, which helps with early cover submission (and savings!)
           
You’ll be able to browse through piles of books from all across the country for new ideas. What better way to build the plan for your dream book than to see how others have taken their yearbook to a whole new level?


Why Attend?

When you and your staff attend Yearbook University this Summer you will become expert Yearbookologists.  This means that your staff will have a creative and inspirational team approach to producing your book.  You will get and stay on the cutting edge of all that is yearbook, while staying on track with business and production plans. 

You will start your school year with expert yearbook knowledge, the know-how to make your yearbook better, a professionally designed cover, your theme package and ladder for your 2012 book, and the momentum to get your yearbook off to a fantastic start.
