What to Bring

As you prepare for the Gloria Shields NSPA Media Workshop, the instructors have created packing lists of equipment and resources you should bring. Advisers are encouraged to work with their students to make sure they come to the workshop prepared for class. In many cases it is not possible to share laptops or cameras.
