From Nov. 1-Nov. 5, several students enrolled in Newspaper and Yearbook classes had the opportunity to visit Boston and learn more about the publications process through a journalism convention as well as sightseeing around the historic city. “Going out and exploring things is an opportunity given by Mater Dei for a lot of courses, [and] being able to go to Boston and learn about a class I’m very interested in is always a pleasure,” senior Jordan St. John said.
