Happy Monday! Even as spring break fades into the past, and as we grapple with the “spring ahead” from this weekend, I hope that you feel a bit more restored—and ready for the second half of our semester! When the weather forecast looks like it does this week, it’s easy to start thinking of the warmer days to come…but at the same time we shouldn’t lose sight of what’s happening now!
|
We’re already into Lent, looking ahead to the Big East Tournament and St. Patrick’s Day, and in our second full week celebrating Women’s History Month—check out this month’s programming on campus, such as the monthlong exhibit on Women in Sports! This is also a great time to recognize one of the amazing women in sports, Amy Rosenfeld, who oversees the Olympics and Paralympics for NBC Sports—and a year ago received the 2024 Colin Jose Media Award, in recognition of her work to celebrate and support soccer in the U.S. More relevant here: she’s working with our Center for Sports Media Executive Director B.J. Schecter on a 1-credit class for Fall 2025 on Live Sports Production. Read the story below and find out more about this opportunity—which will include a trip to the NBC Sports headquarters, and the possibility of an internship covering the Winter Olympics!
|
With that bit of Pirate Pride, I invite you to read on and learn more about what is happening in and around CHDCM, and what our amazing people have been up to! As always, keep your good news and event notes coming, and I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful return to classes!

| Ghana Imani Hylton decided to pursue a M.A. in Communication with a focus in Organizational Communication to combine her higher education, organizational management, and mission-based goals.
|
She has spent two decades as a Human Resources Director and event planner in NYC. She is currently the Director of Campus Inclusion and Scheduling and Operations at the University, where she co-teaches Anti-Racism classes and is co-facilitator of the National Coalition Building Institute [NCBI].
|
|
|
Ms. Hylton has been a keynote speaker at multiple events, including the NJ ACE Women of Color Symposium (2024), the Collegiate Chapter of the NAACP (2025), and Union United Methodist Church’s Black History Month program (2025). She received the President’s Award for Student Services (2024), Campus Champion Award from Athletics (2023), Campus Partner Award from Student Services (2023), and the Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award (2021). She has spoken at events hosted by Zeta Phi Beta and Alpha Phi and was recognized as a NASPA Stellar 50 recipient for her contributions to equity, inclusion, and professional development.

In her personal life, Ghana is a published writer & poet who wrote her first book at eight years old. She honed her skills in the Brooklyn poetry scene and led the #SayHerName Creative Writing & Poetry cipher for girls in Newark.
|
Ghana taught Kwanzaa at schools, community centers, universities and for city celebrations in both New York City and Essex County, New Jersey. Her parents were part of the early Civil Rights Movement in their communities and raised her with a great deal of pride in her culture. Her father was a community organizer, and an architect-turned-artist. Her mother was a college professor and journalist who taught Black Women's Studies and wrote an encyclopedia on the Harlem Renaissance.
|
Ghana's passions are social justice, writing, music, education, inclusive leadership, women’s empowerment, and addressing the intersectionality of racism, sexism, and other oppressions. She states, "Each course and professor has been a puzzle piece to completing that whole picture, and I’m grateful to be involved with CHDCM. I truly believe the experiences I’m gaining in Communications will help me reach my personal and professional goals which both include helping to create a kinder, more equitable world."

WSOU Alumni Return to Campus for Speed Networking Event
|
|
|
|
On Feb. 25, WSOU held an alumni speed networking event on campus, where current station staff were able to connect with WSOU alumni from many different professions. WSOU's alumni network is full of proud former DJs, Sportscasters, and Newscasters who always look to give back to the station in any way they can. They are a driving force in helping members find work outside of school, both in the media industry and outside of it. WSOU is incredibly grateful for all that our alumni do for us, and we were pleased to have them back on campus networking with our current members!
