NSSA STUDENT CHAPTERS

As part of its mission statement “to help mentor youth interested in sports media,” the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association & Hall of Fame has undertaken an initiative to start Student Chapters at colleges and universities throughout the United States.  These Student Chapters will consist of NSSA student members who wish to take advantage of NSSA’s networking and educational opportunities.
