New York Times Student Journeys

As the 2020 presidential election approaches, spend two weeks this summer gaining a deeper understanding of what unites and divides the U.S. beyond the D.C. Beltway. On a road trip from D.C. to Detroit, examine life in both urban and rural areas, and what the difference may mean for people's ideologies and political outlooks.

Explore perspectives on immigration throughout California this summer. Talk with border patrol officers, immigration lawyers, farmers, advocates and more. Develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the issue, the policies and the people impacted.

Trace the origins of social justice issues and meet with individuals and organizations working on solutions as you travel from New Orleans to Montgomery, Memphis and Clarksdale.

Two-time Student Journeys alum wins an award for her computer science research into using artificial intelligence to help diagnose dementia.

Will you be following the Fashion Weeks ahead? On our New York to Milan fashion program for high school students this summer, you go behind the scenes, study international trends and fashion history, meet with up-and-coming designers and then design your own line of clothing. #studentjourneys #NYFW
