Putting the ‘Serving’ into Hispanic-Serving Institution
Sunday April 6, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm PDT
W304
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are those with an enrollment of at least 25% Hispanic students. But being an HSI is about more than numbers and federal recognition. Panelists will discuss how the word “serving” means leading organizational and curriculum change through a framework centered on equity, familia, and culturally-responsive pedagogy. They will talk about institutions ill-equipped to serve emerging populations, reshaping media programs, and how one institution drives Latino student success while fostering an inclusive environment for all students.

Streaming the Old with the New: Convergence Culture in Today’s Sports Media
Monday April 7, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am PDT
W304
Building on their foundation and looking to the future, this panel seeks to examine the sports media industry’s adaptation to media convergence. The phrase media convergence refers to the blending of legacy and modern media to create a new or different product (Jenkins, 2006). Today’s media landscape merges traditional formats, such as radio and television, with new media, such as social media and streaming platforms. This convergence culture creates challenges and opportunities to reach a further divided audience. This discussion will focus on how different sports and/or different networks alter their strategy to maintain relevance in today’s culture. Moreover, this panel will explore the potential implications of media convergence for producers, broadcasters, reporters, and audiences.

Reinventing and Reclaiming Local Radio
Monday April 7, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm PDT
