Bravo was invited to speak during “Diplomacia Digital y Gobernanza Tecnológica en la Política Exterior Contemporánea” (“Digital Diplomacy and Technological Governance in Contemporary Foreign Policy”), a multiweek professional development program held in Mexico City.

Joining the program virtually on Sept. 22, Bravo delivered an hourlong presentation exploring how diplomats can construct stories that are interesting, understandable and useful to different audiences across digital and traditional platforms.

During her presentation, Bravo discussed communication theories such as framing and strategic narratives, demonstrating how established narratives can be reframed through counter-narratives to offer alternative perspectives and elevate underrepresented voices.

She highlighted examples involving the #MeToo movement and advocacy surrounding reproductive rights to illustrate how narratives can be reframed through online and offline communication. Bravo explained how similar strategies, grounded in ethical principles and accuracy, can be applied to diplomacy and foreign policy.

Turning specifically to Mexico, Bravo discussed the country’s emphasis on protecting human rights regardless of where individuals live or their immigration status. She also highlighted Mexico’s framing of immigration as a shared responsibility with the United States.

Approximately 20 diplomats from Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs attended the session, along with professors from Mexican universities that partner with the Matías Romero Institute.

Mexican diplomat Rodrigo Márquez Latigue, who coordinates training and courses at the institute, invited Bravo to participate after previously hearing her present at the International Studies Association’s annual conference. Her research and expertise include strategic communications, government-diaspora communications and public diplomacy. The formal invitation was extended on behalf of Ambassador Juan José Bremer, director of the institute.

Established in 1974 by Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs, the Matías Romero Institute is responsible for training and professional development for Mexican diplomats.

Wedged between Germany, France and Belgium, the small European nation has three official languages – Luxembourgish, French and German – while English and Portuguese are also widely spoken, reflecting the country’s large immigrant population and international workforce.

This fall, an exhibition at �鶹��Ƶ will offer the campus community a closer look at how those languages intersect with the country’s history, culture, education and migration.

“The Luxembourgish Language(s)” exhibition will be on display in the lobby of Steers Pavilion from Monday, Sept. 28, through Friday, Oct. 9, before moving to Sato Commons from Nov. 8-12.

Across 10 poster exhibits, the exhibition traces Luxembourg’s linguistic story and examines how multilingualism functions in daily life. QR codes connect visitors with interactive experiences, while a touchscreen display offers additional videos and activities.

The exhibition was developed by the Zenter fir d’Lëtzebuerger Sprooch (ZLS), a Luxembourg-based language research and policy institute supported by the country’s Ministry of Culture.

Derek Lackaff, associate professor of visual communication, coordinated �鶹��Ƶ’s hosting of the exhibition. His interest in Luxembourg includes what he describes as the country’s “linguistic landscape” – the ways language appears throughout the visual world, from signs and packaging to billboards and digital interfaces.

It is a subject Lackaff also incorporates into his Contemporary Practices in Visual Communication course, where students examine how visual designers approach text and typography in multilingual settings.

“The goal of the course is to expose students to new ideas and opportunities in design,” Lackaff said. “It uses language as a bridge to connect visual design to bigger, interesting questions about communication and culture.”

Students in the course consider both local and international examples, providing a broader view of how designers communicate in spaces where multiple languages coexist.

Lackaff worked with ZLS sociolinguist Sarah Muller to bring the exhibition to �鶹��Ƶ.

“We are happy to see this interest in our exhibition on the Luxembourgish language and languages in Luxembourg.” Muller explained. “We hope the �鶹��Ƶ community enjoys learning more about the Luxembourgish context, and the exhibition also offers much more beyond that: Visitors can increase their awareness of multilingual societies in general and the sometimes unusual contexts of small languages. Such insights are relevant well beyond the Luxembourgish or even a European context.”

The exhibition has drawn support from across the university, with co-sponsors including the Department of Visual Communication, School of Communications, Isabella Cannon Global Education Center, Department of World Languages and Cultures, and German Studies Program.

For Lackaff, that broad campus involvement reflects the exhibition’s connections to larger conversations surrounding global education, culture and communication.

“The exhibition themes connect well to many conversations we are having around campus and with our students,” Lackaff said.

The exhibition will also complement several campus celebrations and hosted events this fall, including National Humanities Week, the Mountain Interstate Forum on Languages & Cultures and International Education Week.

�鶹��Ƶ Assistant Professor of Journalism Israel Balderas was featured in following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

The article examined the implications of the ruling, particularly Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion, which suggested Congress could pursue legislation related to birthright citizenship even after the Court rejected President Donald Trump’s executive order.

Balderas, a First Amendment attorney, explained that Kavanaugh’s opinion leaves open a potential legislative path for the issue to return to the courts.

“Birthright citizenship won today. But Kavanaugh just told Congress where the side door is, and Trump is already walking toward it. Whether that door is real or painted on the wall is the question the Court left for another day,” Balderas said.

Balderas cautioned, however, that such legislation would face significant constitutional hurdles.

“Here’s the tension inside the Supreme Court that most people will miss. The five-justice majority held that the Constitution itself guarantees birthright citizenship. If that’s right, then Congress can’t touch it with an ordinary law. You would need a constitutional amendment,” Balderas explained.

“But Kavanaugh disagrees. He thinks the door is still open for legislation. So the next battle isn’t just Democrats versus Republicans in Congress. It’s whether Kavanaugh’s view or the majority’s view controls when that legislation inevitably gets challenged,” he added.

Pendleton’s article, “,” is available through Taylor & Francis Online.

Published in May, the study explores how journalism and communication students navigate questions of belonging, institutional support and identity as colleges and universities across the country reevaluate or scale back DEI initiatives. The research highlights the tensions students experience between feeling connected to their academic communities while also confronting isolation and uncertainty about institutional commitment to inclusion.

Pendleton, whose scholarship focuses on authenticity, relationship management and equity in strategic communications and higher education, said the project reflects her broader interest in how institutions shape relational dynamics and student experiences.

“Understanding how students experience belonging during moments of institutional and cultural change is critical for communication educators and university leaders,” Pendleton said. “This research examines the complexities students face as they navigate identity, support and community in evolving educational environments.”

Pendleton joined �鶹��Ƶ in fall 2023. Her scholarship has appeared in several journals, including Public Relations Review, Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, Journal of Health Communication, Social Responsibility Journal and The Journal of Social Media in Society.

is a peer-reviewed academic journal focused on communication studies, media, culture and social issues. It is published by Howard University and is especially known for scholarship examining race, identity, representation, gender, politics and marginalized communities in media and communication.

“The tour guide explained that from the first day of freshman year, you can have hands-on experience,” Im recalled. “Many other schools I toured said that the first couple of years were mainly theory-based classes and less hands-on experience. I find a lot of value in having access to the resources all four years.”

That promise of hands-on experience was kept. Within her first week as a freshman, Im was already behind a Sony 4K camera through �鶹��Ƶ’s Fresh TV program. Now a junior majoring in cinema and television arts with minors in leadership studies and psychology, she recalled, “The CTA program was the biggest reason I loved �鶹��Ƶ.”

Im grew up in South Korea, where her father still lives, before moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with her mother and siblings for high school. She said that her transition from high school to �鶹��Ƶ was comfortable, and that compared to her previous experience, she had more opportunities for interaction with her peers.

“When I came to �鶹��Ƶ, I had more of a chance to share my culture and interact with people who have different backgrounds,” she recalled. “It made my perspective change in general. I learned more about how other people from different cultures think and see the world.”

Much of her growth in her freshman year happened in her International Living-Learning Community residence hall. She remembered connecting with the people living in her residence hall who spoke different languages and carried distinct cultural perspectives that they shared freely — sometimes in unconventional ways.

“We taught each other how to swear in our languages,” Im laughed. “That was one of my core memories, and still, I hear my friends cursing in Korean once in a while. I think it’s very funny; the freshman dorm experience was so much fun.”

Her energy to share and inspire carried forward. Im is very involved on campus through being an Orientation Leader, Residence Assistant, a Leadership Fellow and a member of Women’s Club Rugby.

She recalled two examples that solidified what it meant to her to be a positive mentor at �鶹��Ƶ. Feeling proud of the work she is involved with, Im shared the personal meaning behind her drive to improve �鶹��Ƶ’s campus.

“When I get respect, I feel that I am doing well,” she said. During Fellows Weekend, a student walked up to her, “He said, ‘I don’t think you remember me, but you gave me a tour two years ago, and that tour made me excited to come to �鶹��Ƶ.’”

Not long after, in her sophomore summer, she was recognized for being an engaging leader again by a former orientation student who had become an RA, just like her. He sought her out to thank her for being an engaging leader. For Im, the pattern was clear.

“I’m happy that I’m doing well in mentorship and getting appreciated in many different ways, but also I’m proud that my mentees are doing well on campus. And that brings me joy in many different ways,” she added.

In the classroom and production studio, Im has been equally determined to succeed. She is currently the producer for �鶹��Ƶ After Hours, the student-run late-night talk show under �鶹��Ƶ Student Television. As a freshman, she earned the program’s Rookie of the Year award, recognition she said she hadn’t seen coming.

“I did not know that the upperclassmen were appreciating my help until I got that award, and that’s when I realized they think I’m doing my job well,” she said.

Im also received the highest academic achievement award from CREDE, the university’s Center for Race, Ethnicity and Diversity Education, though she is quick to express what achievement means to her. “Getting a good grade is important, but what I do and what I learn is more important than just getting a grade.”

This semester, her focus is on an advanced documentary class where her group is producing a live-broadcast game show, complete with original graphics. Her group plans to produce a live broadcast of the game show when it is being filmed, and the final cut will be a highlight reel of the show’s best moments. “I’m so excited for that,” she added.

Even though Im received awards and worked well with her mentees, she was conflicted between staying at �鶹��Ƶ, and carrying the financial weight of tuition, or leaving.

“I was considering dropping out of college or transferring, even though I value and appreciate the education I get at �鶹��Ƶ, because financial troubles are inevitable,” she expressed.

Through her Reverend Dr. William J. Andes ’35 Endowed Scholarship changed that. The scholarship was not just supportive financially, but also supported what her values as a student meant to the �鶹��Ƶ community. To her, it felt like someone had seen what she was doing and decided it mattered. It proved to her that her talents are worth investing in.

With the scholarship, Im was able to expand her reach beyond �鶹��Ƶ’s campus and enroll in the Study USA New York City program.

“If I were not enrolled with �鶹��Ƶ, and supported through a scholarship, I would not have had the experience to meet alumni and connect with people based on our interests in New York City,” said Im.

Im is now one year from finishing her degree and acknowledged how close she came to never reaching this point.

“Thank you so much. I cannot explain how much of an impact they made on my life and my family’s lives,” Im said of her scholarship donors.” The fact that I can tell my family that I received money as recognition of my skills is a huge help. I have the opportunity to make this campus a better space, and the fact that I have that privilege –I’m so thankful for that. Sincerely, the scholarship changed my life, and now I can contribute to the community.”

Vice President for Inclusive Excellence Randy Williams received the 2026 Rising Star Award from the during the association’s annual conference held this year in Philadelphia.

The Rising Star Award is presented to a NADOHE member in good standing who has served as a chief or senior diversity officer for at least three years, but no more than 10 total years at a higher educational institution.

Nominees are considered for their “exceptional contributions to research, administration, practice, advocacy and/or policy informs and advances the understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence in higher education.”

“Receiving the Rising Star Award at this point in my career reminds me that I am, and always will be, a lifelong learner, continually striving to grow and improve,” Williams said. “I am also grateful to NADOHE for its support of the many professionals dedicated to creating high-quality learning environments for all students, faculty, and staff.

“Because awards are rarely earned alone, I share this recognition with my �鶹��Ƶ colleagues, who prioritize inclusive excellence every day.”

Since his promotion to his current role in July 2020, Williams has led wide-ranging efforts to advance inclusive excellence at �鶹��Ƶ, driving measurable gains in faculty and staff diversity, student belonging and institutional accountability.

He has helped embed equity-focused practices across the university through initiatives such as a Shared Equity Leadership national research project and through guided reforms to faculty development and student services that have addressed structural barriers.

Colleagues credit Williams with fostering a collaborative, campuswide approach that positions inclusive excellence as a shared responsibility with leadership that contributed to national research partnerships and programs now serving as models for other institutions.

Beyond campus, Williams has strengthened community partnerships and helped shape institutional responses to social issues, extending the university’s impact regionally and nationally.

Laké Laosebikan-Buggs, �鶹��Ƶ’s director of inclusive excellence for graduate and professional education, nominated Williams for the award.

“What distinguishes Dr. Williams is not just his expertise but his bold, forward-thinking leadership,” she wrote in her nomination. “His ability to navigate institutional complexity, including the shifting winds of public opinion, while inspiring broad engagement, and implementing systems-level change, positions him as a future national leader in higher education equity and inclusion work.”

The little-known history of Greensboro, North Carolina’s 1938 movie theater boycott protesting Jim Crow censorship was the topic of a March 6 public talk by Assistant Professor of Journalism Lorraine Ahearn at the city’s

The event at the museum, site of the pivotal Woolworth sit-in protests of 1960, also featured a presentation on North Carolina’s first commercially produced movie, 1948’s “Pitch a Boogie Woogie.” Veteran Associated Press reporter Skip Foreman talked about the once-lost featurette and the role his father, Tom Foreman, Sr., played in the all-Black cast.

“These two events expand our understanding of film history and the long journey of screen representation of African Americans,” Ahearn said. “They reveal Black people in North Carolina both resisting and negotiating Jim Crow conventions during two decades not often emphasized in this struggle.”

In 1938, students at Greensboro’s Bennett College for Women, an HBCU, organized a community boycott of white movie theaters. The students discovered that white exhibitors in the South were censoring out scenes casting Black performers on an equal social footing with whites, violating Jim Crow-era typecasting that relegated Black actors to subservient or comic stereotypes. The Black press was instrumental in covering the months-long boycott.

Ahearn first wrote about the forgotten incident as a newspaper reporter, then extended the research as a chapter in a scholarly anthology edited by Naeemah Clark, �鶹��Ƶ’s Associate Provost for Academic Inclusive Excellence.

“The ‘38 boycott is noteworthy on a couple of counts,” Ahearn said. “For one, it comes a whole generation before Woolworth’s, lengthening the timeline of direct action initiated — once again — by college students. Equally important, the movie boycott turned not on the issue of where Black people were physically allowed to sit or eat, but on how Black people were allowed to be depicted to white audiences in the most powerful new medium of the time, Hollywood movies.”

A decade later, “Pitch a Boogie Woogie,” captured the disappearing genre of tented Black vaudeville and traveling minstrel shows in a complex post-war era of social and musical evolution. Black actors, musicians and dancers played all the parts in the short movie a white Greenville producer made exclusively for Black audiences and scored by the popular Greensboro band The Rhythm Vets. The band members were veterans of the World War II-era US Navy B-1 Band, among the first African Americans to hold Navy ranks above that of mess officer.

The School of Communications community gathered March 5 in Snow Family Grand Atrium for the third annual Spotlight on Inclusive Excellence, an interactive event highlighting projects and initiatives advancing inclusive storytelling and media practice.

The program featured table conversations where attendees moved throughout the space to engage with students, faculty and staff about ongoing initiatives and projects.

Assistant Dean Vanessa Bravo opened the event by emphasizing that inclusive excellence remains a core priority within the School of Communications and across �鶹��Ƶ.

“Inclusive excellence is deeply important to us,” Bravo said. “These values have always mattered and will continue to matter.”

Throughout the program, attendees explored a range of subjects, including work by student organizations, projects from Live Oak Communications — the school’s student-run communications agency — student journalism and research efforts, faculty scholarship and coursework connected to the university’s Advancing Equity Requirement.

Other discussions focused on topics such as women in sports, student research featured in academic journals, and projects examining how communications and media can amplify diverse voices and perspectives.

Bravo said the event helped the school community better understand the breadth of inclusive excellence initiatives taking place across the School of Communications.

“This is a great opportunity to learn about the many diversity-, equity- and inclusion-related efforts happening throughout the School of Communications,” she said. “From student organizations and faculty research to journalism projects and alumni work, these efforts demonstrate how our community is engaging these issues in meaningful ways.”

“The discussions highlighted how quickly the communications landscape is evolving — and why questions of equity and representation remain central to that change,” said Lorraine Ahearn, assistant professor of journalism and chair of the Inclusive Excellence Committee. “Our students, faculty and alumni are actively examining how media systems shape who is represented and whose voices are heard.”

Bravo thanked the faculty members who organized the event through the school’s Inclusive Excellence Committee, including Ahearn, Young Do Kim, Sydney Nicolla, and Lee Bush, as well as the students, faculty and staff who hosted conversations during the program.

Drawing from her own experience and the voices of other neurodiverse students, Schlehuber authored a deeply reported, multimedia feature that explores where students thrive, where they need more support, and how campuses can better serve them. As she put it, “Being diagnosed autistic myself, I really just wanted to write the story I’ve always wanted to read.”

That story has now earned national recognition for a second time. The recent �鶹��Ƶ graduate, who majored in journalism and minored in creative writing, captured second place in the Feature Writing Competition of the 2025–2026 Hearst Journalism Awards Program, selected from a record 162 entries from 87 schools. Her runner-up finish includes a $2,000 award and places her among the top student feature writers in the country.

Schlehuber’s piece stood out for its depth, empathy and multimedia approach, combining reporting, photography, video and design to tell a layered story about autistic and neurodiverse students at �鶹��Ƶ.

“I always wanted to tackle an in-depth, multimedia piece about how autistic people navigate college life,” Schlehuber said. “Autism is a disability frequently associated with childhood, but I wanted to show how dynamic autism can be, especially in young adulthood.”

Her reporting centers on students who shared their experiences honestly – from finding community and confidence to navigating accommodations, social spaces and academic expectations. The story is also supported by insights from disability experts and includes ideas for how universities can better support autistic students.

Schlehuber’s work on the project grew out of both personal and academic interests. She first explored the topic through a research article published in the �鶹��Ƶ Journal before developing the full multimedia feature. That early work shaped not just what she reported, but how she approached the story. Schlehuber said it was important for the final piece to reflect how varied the autistic experience can be.

“The biggest challenge I faced while writing and reporting was working toward interviewing a diverse range of people,” Schlehuber said. “My three student subjects not only had autism, but they had other disabilities and chronic illnesses as well, so I wanted to make sure that was represented in my article.”

Finding expert voices also took persistence, as there are relatively few specialists focused specifically on autism in higher education, which limited the pool of available sources.

While autism has been part of her life since childhood, Schlehuber said the reporting process still revealed new layers of complexity. “Since I grew up with autism, I didn’t learn anything new about the disability itself that surprised me,” she said. “But it was surprising that autism is often coupled with other disabilities and mental illnesses.”

She added that this reality makes accommodations more complicated – and more important.

Above all, Schlehuber said she wants her story to shift how people think about neurodiversity in higher education. She wants readers to understand that autism accommodations should not stop after K–12 education and that colleges must not only accommodate neurodiverse students, but represent them in daily campus life. “More students are neurodiverse than you think,” she said.

Additionally, she wanted to push back on the assumption that college is always harder for autistic students.

“For a lot of autistic students, college is not always as hard on us as people think it is,” she said. “The students I spoke with had supportive – often neurodiverse – friend groups and enjoyed the flexibility and niche opportunities that come with college.”

In addition to the Hearst second-place finish, “The Autistic Experience at �鶹��Ƶ” won third place in the Multimedia Feature Story category from the Associated Collegiate Press in October. For Schlehuber, the continued recognition is both surprising and deeply meaningful.

“Winning second place was shocking,” she said of her Hearst recognition. “Every time I win an award for my journalism, I am blown away with how much people care about what I have to say.”

She is especially excited that her reporting on autism is reaching a wider audience.

“I am so excited for my reporting on autism to get eyes on it, especially through a massive media company like Hearst,” she said. “I hope this will open more doors for me in my career, as I plan to write for the rest of my life in any way I can.”

The Hearst Journalism Awards Program, now in its 66th year, includes competitions across writing, photo, audio, television, podcast and multimedia categories, offering up to $700,000 in scholarships, matching grants and stipends. More than 100 accredited journalism programs participate each year, making it one of the most prestigious student journalism competitions in the country.

had never slept on a boat before. By the time she woke up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean – six hours off the coast of Costa Rica – she had already spent the night battling seasickness, clutching her camera, and worrying whether she’d get the images she hoped for. Five minutes after stepping onto the deck at sunrise, a hammerhead shark surfaced beside the boat, confirming months of preparation and giving Molina firsthand access to an endangered species few reporters document alive.

The encounter came during Molina’s three-week reporting trip last summer to Costa Rica as a 2025 Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellow, where the journalism and media analytics double major investigated illegal hammerhead shark fishing and the legal loopholes allowing the endangered species to be caught and sold. For Molina, whose parents immigrated from Costa Rica, the fellowship offered a rare opportunity to report in her family’s home country – placing her not only in government offices and fishing towns, but also aboard a research vessel in international waters alongside marine biologists tagging hammerhead sharks.

“I was really worried about visuals,” Molina said of her investigation. “I was like, ‘How am I going to get a visual of a hammerhead shark? They’re all the way out in the ocean.’”

That anxiety followed her offshore. Molina was the only journalist on board, far from land, without cell service and with no easy way out if something went wrong. The physical toll hit quickly.

“I was severely seasick the first night,” Molina said. “Like, I’ve never been that pale in my life.”

Despite the discomfort, Molina never questioned why she was there, staying alert with her camera at the ready.

Those hours at sea were just one chapter in a much longer reporting journey – one that began with a phone call to family. The project took shape after a conversation with Molina’s aunt, Sophia Gamboa, who lives in Costa Rica and raised concerns about illegal hammerhead shark fishing that she felt was largely overlooked.

Nearly two years after that conversation, Molina’s reporting culminated in a Pulitzer Center–published investigation titled “” an in-depth examination of how enforcement gaps continue to threaten the endangered species. Molina said her connection to the country shaped both the focus and the urgency of the work.

“Being Costa Rican is a central part of my identity,” Molina said. “I’ve returned regularly since I was very young to visit family, and I now hold dual citizenship.”

Throughout her three-week trip, Molina relied heavily on her aunt, who served as a translator during interviews with fishermen and local officials, and helped coordinate travel between coastal communities. That support allowed Molina to focus on reporting while gaining access she would not have been able to secure alone.

Molina’s reporting took her from government offices in San José to small fishing towns along the Pacific coast, before culminating far offshore with a team led by marine biologist Randall Arauz. “I was on my own reporting for about a week,” Molina said. “And then I was invited by Randall, whom I interviewed back in December (2024), to come out on the boat with him.”

The plan was to tag thresher sharks. Hammerheads were never guaranteed. When a hammerhead finally appeared one morning, the tagging process unfolded quickly.

“They make an incision right near the fin,” Molina explained. “They put in the tag … and then it goes with the shark, and it will eventually come off and send all that data back.”

As the scientists worked, Molina remained on deck with the fishermen, documenting the moment. “They were like, ‘You have to come here. This is a good angle for a photo,’” she said of the crew. “They were really nice people.”

By the end of the trip, the team had tagged three hammerhead sharks.

For Molina, seeing the sharks alive and released underscored the stakes of her reporting. Hammerhead sharks are elusive and endangered, and encounters outside of fishing contexts are rare. The experience offshore made tangible what had previously existed only in interviews, documents and preparation.

“I’ve gone through a lot for this story,” Molina said.

The experience also reshaped how Molina understood the investigation itself. What began as a project focused largely on enforcement failures evolved into something more complex once she began interviewing government officials, scientists and fishing advocates.

“I truly don’t think that they’re bad people and don’t care about hammerhead sharks,” Molina said of the regulators she interviewed. “I think it’s more like there are three people monitoring over 2,000 boats.”

That realization shifted the reporting away from individual blame and toward systemic limitations, including understaffing, resource constraints and the challenges of monitoring Costa Rica’s extensive coastline. For Molina, that nuance became central to the final piece.

In the final days of the trip, Molina shifted from reporting to writing. “I actually wrote the entire article before I even left Costa Rica,” she said. She worked from her grandmother’s house – a familiar place she had visited since childhood – drafting the investigation at the coffee table. After the intensity of the fieldwork, Molina finished her story as rain fell outside, dampening the orchids lining her grandmother’s backyard.
