Welcome to the home of the Robert W. Greene Summer Institute for High School Journalists!
Our new year is off to a great start, with students from high schools on Long Island and New York City. They were accepted into the program because they all have already produced great work for their schools in the spirit of pioneering Newsday investigative reporter and editor Robert W. Greene, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and a founding faculty member of Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism.
Meet the 2025 Greene Team:
Hennie England – Huntington High School
Layla Gentles – Baldwin Senior High School
Zeydi Guerra – Hempstead High School
Lisseth Hernandez – Central Islip High School
Shirley Jiang – East Hampton High School
Allisson Paz – Brentwood High School
Keren Philippe – Central Islip High School
Gabrielle Sanders – Roosevelt High School
Emily Soriano – Westbury High School
Faith Welch – Greenport High School
Araya White – Uniondale High School
Each Greene Team member will work on news stories that will require them to perform key journalistic tasks on all media platforms including writing news stories, taking photographs, producing, shooting and editing video, conducting an interview, addressing a newsmaker at a press conference, posting text and images to a blog or website and covering a speech.
Each student will also work virtually on Stony Brook’s television program appearing live in front on camera at the virtual anchor’s desk or reporting live as an on-air television correspondent.
By the end of our weeklong workshop, each participant will work in a team on various multimedia assignments that will be posted here. Students will be blogging throughout the program also.
We invite you to explore the site to see the fine work the students produce!
