William Paterson University offers a lot of great opportunities for its students.

Some aspiring journalists from the school took a tour of News 12 New Jersey this week. The students were with the Society of Professional Journalists.

The students also recently won an award for the best campus chapter of the society, beating out schools like Arkansas, Ohio and Central Florida.

A special shoutout to William Paterson Professor Nick Hirshon who is responsible for much of the student's success.
