John Curley Center for Sports Journalism
Thirty-one varsity teams. The chance to cover them in any format: multimedia, photo, text and video. Penn State students are in the perfect spot to hone their sports journalism skills, and the Curley Center is the hub of all that activity.
The Curley Center's approach — a combination of classroom instruction and co-curricular activities (on and off campus) — as well as the quality of our students have produced many one-of-a-kind experiences.
Partnerships with news organizations have led to opportunities covering the Super Bowl, the Paralympics, the Little League World Series, Penn State baseball's historic visit to Cuba, Penn State football in Ireland, the Olympics, NASCAR, golf's U.S. Open and more.
Our First Documentary Film
Quiet Sundays has earned numerous awards and screened in England and the United States.
