The icy temperatures and frigid winds left over from yesterday’s blizzard didn’t stop Feather students from hopping onto the NY Metro and trudging through slush to get to Columbia University, to attend the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention, March 15.

Departing from the convention, the team bore gusts of wind to visit Peter Hurley, a world famous photographer who shared his experiences and advice on taking the best headshot. After a quick break at the hotel, the team enjoyed a long, entertaining meal at Ellen’s Stardust Diner.

The middle of the week brought the team to the 93rd annual CSPA convention, which was held at Columbia University. Adviser Kori Friesen presented a session on hooking audiences with images. Feather students then separated to take in sessions that interested them throughout the day.

On day five of the Feather NY trip, the team will visit Soho and Little Italy. An extended walk to include Bryant Park, NY Public Library, Rockefeller Center was postponed. The group also took in the Broadway show Stomp.
