It's the end of the academic year and time to wave off our latest batch of graduating students. But we won't let them go without celebrating their successes. Belen Moreno joins me to talk about our Graduating Students' Showcase. Let's call it "Reach For The Stars #1". We chat about what we are planning to do, what we want to celebrate and why it matters thgat students show up. This year we have the inaugural Superstar and Rising Star Awards as the focal point of the event.

Did you know we have a Broadcast Meteorology Minor in SJSU? And that our Journalism students take it? And that they apply that to their broadcast program? Update News, our weekly broadcast news show includes a weather feature and this is the result of a collaboration between JMC and the world renowned Department of Meteorology and Climate Science. In this episode we chat with Rob Mayeda. Rob is a meteorologist with NBC News Bay Area as well as a part time lecturer in SJSU. We chat about the minor, the weather, the importance of visual prompts and the performative aspects of relaying weather science across broadcast platforms. While you're at it, check out the minor, it may lead to a brand new and unexpected career!
