Leadership

The Southern Interscholastic Press Association is housed at the University of South Carolina College of Information and Communications. Organizational leadership includes college staff and the Executive Committee composed of scholastic media advisers and students officers.

We are always seeking advisers who are interested in taking on leadership roles, offering feedback, and supporting SIPA’s programming. If you would like to serve on the Executive Committee, please email [email protected].
