The WVU Chapter of the National Association for Black Journalists aims to create a strong union among minority students pursuing degrees in journalism and related fields at West Virginia University for the purpose of receiving guidance from both the National NABJ and its professional affiliate chapters.
NABJ will expose you to enriching discussion, and connect you with journalism-related workshops, conferences and conventions. College is about strengthening skills, getting involved and building the foundation of your career after graduation. Let NABJ be the organization to help you do that.
