By: Joí Dean Many UC students have missed the opportunity to travel abroad in the past due to the pandemic, but two professors from the College of Arts and Sciences have found a solution. Assistant professors Juan Godoy and Kara Moranski, along with colleagues from the Department of Romance and Arabic Languages and Literatures, have created UC’s first Summer Spanish Local Immersion Program. The idea was originally proposed by professor Carlos Gutiérrez, who had a vision for students to have an opportunity to experience Hispanic culture locally. After numerous brainstorming sessions, Godoy and Moranski will see the program come to life this summer. “Students should expect to fully engage in daily activities and cultural activities that are not normally part of a regular class,” Godoy said.

By Rebecca Schweitzer On November 3, millions of Americans lined up to cast their votes during a year driven by the pandemic and political unrest. In Cincinnati, polls opened at 7a.m. and reporters were there, ready to cover the historically largest number of votes in a US Presidential Election. 12 Arts and Sciences journalism students had the opportunity to be part of that history, working as correspondents for the Cincinnati Enquirer by covering polls in the Warren, Clermont, and Butler counties. This was the third presidential election that UC students have been able to cover for the Enquirer. During this year, students from Professor Robert Jonason’s News Collaborative class were sent to virtually interview the directors of the Board of Elections in their designated counties (Butler, Clermont, or Warren) prior to the election. Mark Wert of the Cincinnati Enquirer supplied the students with questions and after the interviews, the students wrote stories on the information they gathered. These stories were sent to the Enquirer and the information has since been used in two stories.

Through an innovation grant from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Arts and Sciences, the department of Journalism is offering two new internships with community-based and minority-owned news outlets. The funding supports internships at urban news organizations which have traditionally been able only to accept unpaid interns. It also gives UC journalism students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in reporting, photography, social media and more at local news outlets. With the novel coronavirus ravaging communities, and Black Lives Matter protests hitting the streets spurred in part by the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May, the timing is right to support local voices in the media, says department head and Journalism professor Jeff Blevins. “Your larger news outlets…aim to serve a broad geography—all of the people in a city and the region—including those who may not be on the front lines of what is happening within certain areas of the city,” Blevins says. “But those communities within the city which have real skin in the game—their voices need to be elevated now more than ever.”
