and tragedy she was about to uncover.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>In a yearlong investigation, Mays, a Bloomberg Law reporter, and NBC News journalist Jon Schuppe uncovered 54 lawsuits from women and their families alleging severe mistreatment or medical neglect in jails.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The response to </span><a

They had problems—drugs, DUI or, in the case of Chasity Congious, a schizoaffective disorder along with developmental disabilities,” del Puerto said. “Whether she belonged in jail is the wrong question. For their sins, their babies paid the price.”&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The babies survived in only 21 of the 54 cases examined by the reporters, and two mothers died. Most of the women had been arrested on low-level, nonviolent charges, and told the reporters their medical concerns were dismissed by correctional workers in emergency healthcare situations.</span></p><h3>Reliving ‘the worst days of their lives’</h3><p dir="ltr"><span>The Nakkula judges were impressed by the reporters’ determination to ensure the women behind every case were able to tell their stories.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“We were asking them to relive the worst day of their lives,” Mays said. “It was very important to us to make sure we told every single woman’s story.”&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Building that kind of trust took time: Mays accompanied one woman as she went through her daily routine, attending nail appointments and family meals. Schuppe sent handwritten letters to contact a woman who, in recovered body camera footage, writhed on the floor of a jail cell as her cries for help were ignored.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“I was so impressed with the resilience of women and mothers. The survival instincts of some of these women is incredible,” Mays said. “People chewed through umbilical cords. People found ways to survive and do CPR on their babies that were born into toilets.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“That’s what really stuck with me at the end of it—not only did they try to survive, they believed in that fight enough to sue, and then relive it to share it with us.”&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>As part of their reporting, Mays and Schuppe created a public database so readers and policymakers could learn more about each woman’s story and identify cases that happened in their own states.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The story was published in late November, but already there are signs of its potential impact. Lawmakers from California to Louisiana are exploring policies designed to protect mothers and infants, such as keeping pregnant women accused of nonviolent offenses out of jail during pretrial proceedings.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>In 2023, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove introduced the Pregnant Women in Custody Act in Congress. Mays and Schuppe said she plans to bring a new version of the bill to the floor following their story; the measure would require federal data collection on pregnancies in jails and teaching corrections staff about the risks faced by pregnant detainees.&nbsp;</span></p><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-right ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-white"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="lead"><span>“There are very few</span><i class="fa-solid fa-quote-right fa-3x fa-pull-right ucb-icon-color-gold">&nbsp;</i><span>&nbsp;concrete aspects of impact that you can point to that are more important than having a law changed.

Now, as a corporate partnerships coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, she paid it forward by attending as a panelist and sharing her own experiences with students: An hour after the event ended, she was still fielding questions from attendees.</p><p>“These students are so interested in the sports industry, and they know that's where they want to be,” she said. “As alumni, we were in their exact shoes, so we can provide inspiration and hopefully answer some of those questions that they're hungry to learn more about.”</p><p>Davis said while students are passionate about the industry as a career, they’re also feeling pressure.</p><p>“Students are more concerned with how they stand out against all of these competitors they're going up against,” Davis said. “I've been telling them to find places where you can prove that you can provide value to a team, where you can add a new perspective.”</p><p>Joining Davis on a panel about early-career professionals was Carey Kronhart, a junior majoring in <a href="/cmdi/dcmp" rel="nofollow">media production</a> with a minor in <a href="/cmdi/academics/minors/minor-sports-media" rel="nofollow">sports media</a>.

But my boss took a shine to me, asked me what I was doing for the next three races. One thing just led to another, and it’s all from having that first conversation with Mike.”</p><p>Justin Adams (Jour’09), a reporter and sports anchor for CBS Denver, also shared how network connections gave him a head start in his journalism career. Early in his career, he sent a cold message to Rick George, now emeritus director for Âé¶čĂâ·Ń°æÏÂÔŰAthletics, asking for help in making connections that could help him call Pac-12 games.</p><p>George introduced him to the conference president, which led him to the broadcast booth almost immediately.</p><p>“Take that initiative, shake that hand, have that conversation, get that contact and make sure that your face is shown.

for the entertainment industry, Leah Szabo’s internship with HBO was a dream come true. She tracked media mentions and worked the red carpet for shows like <em>The Last of Us</em> and <em>The White Lotus</em>.</p> </span> </div> <p>Leah Szabo is a great friend to watch TV with. When you ask the inevitable, “Where have I seen them before?” she can tell you.</p><p>That pop culture consciousness—combined with top-notch networking skills—is how the college senior landed a summer internship with HBO Max—a position she hopes helps launch a career in the entertainment industry.</p><p>“I want to be in entertainment because I love amplifying the storytellers' voices through strategy and creativity,” said Szabo, who will graduate from the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information in the spring with a degree in <a href="/cmdi/aprd/bs" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">strategic communication</a>. “I like talking to people, but I like being behind the scenes as the person who helps people get their stories told.”</p><p>Szabo’s own story is both fun and inspiring. The California native grew up surrounded by the sparkle of Hollywood, which extended to the Christmas parties thrown by her uncle—an entertainment industry veteran whose guest lists included publicists, actors and other professionals.</p><p>It was at one of those parties that she chatted with family friend Raina Falcon, an HBO executive, who invited the then-first-year public relations student to follow up with her after a bit more schooling.</p><p>“Year after year, I would follow up saying, ‘Hi, I’m a sophomore now and I study PR.’ And the next year, ‘I’m a junior; it’s my time. I want to work for you. I want to be in entertainment,’” she said. “So it was leveraging a connection, but also making sure I maintained it.”</p><p>Falcon pointed Szabo toward the correct internship application and passed along her resume to the recruiters. Three rounds of interviews, she was accepted, and on the path toward her dream job.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div> <div class="align-center image_style-original_image_size"> <div class="imageMediaStyle original_image_size"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/original_image_size/public/2025-12/szabo-offlede.jpg?itok=tLWObstM" width="4284" height="2410" alt="A large group of actors poses for cameras at a premier event for a television show."> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p class="small-text">The cast of HBO’s <em>The White Lotus</em> poses at a premier event. Among Szabo’s responsibilities at her internship were tracking press and working red-carpet events. <em>Photo by Leah Szabo.</em> &nbsp;</p> </span> </div> <h3>Behind the silver screen</h3><p>Once she arrived, it was clear Szabo’s CMDI education had prepared her to succeed on an internship where she was tasked with everything from tracking media mentions to working the red carpet.</p><p>“Interns in the entertainment and PR business need to be organized, motivated, good with people and very adaptable,” said Lily Walker, a publicity coordinator for HBO Max. “Leah did a great job of taking on new situations as they came, both at in-person events and online.”</p><p>Szabo’s work impressed the HBO team so much that they extended her internship to last through the fall semester as well. Though Walker was not Szabo’s supervisor, the two worked together throughout the internship, including at the <em>I Love LA</em> and <em>Welcome to Derry</em> premieres in October.</p><p>She also credited Szabo with bringing fresh perspectives to work, such as ideas to promote shows to younger audiences.</p><p>“For instance, on <em>I Love LA</em>, an influencer makes a cameo, and I said, ‘Why haven’t you asked to go on her YouTube? She has a whole segment where she interviews celebrities,’” Szabo said. “It was really cool that they saw value in what I was telling them and applying it.”</p><p>Naturally extroverted, Szabo has found her stride within public relations. But she was quick to credit her success to her mentors and past internships. Prior to her role at HBO, she completed two PR internships, one with JKD &amp; Co. and another with SchroderHaus. While at times it was intimidating to represent a global brand, she said, the skills developed at CMDI and during her more community-focused internships applied in every setting, giving her confidence.</p><p>Equally as formative has been her leadership experience with the Âé¶čĂâ·Ń°æÏÂÔŰBoulder chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America. As president, Szabo serves as a liaison to the university, national organization and members, managing a team, running meetings and working with different personalities.</p><p>“PR is basically personality management—how can you satisfy every stakeholder and adjust to different situations,” she said.</p><p>Notably, under her leadership, PRSSA has grown significantly. Since August, 99 new members joined—all while Szabo was continuing her HBO internship and maintaining a full course load.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><h3>Role model</h3><p>“Leah, to me, is already a professional in the way she handles herself,” said <a href="/cmdi/people/advertising-public-relations-and-media-design/jolene-fisher" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Jolene Fisher</a>, an associate professor in the college’s <a href="/cmdi/academics/advertising-pr-and-design" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Department of Advertising, Public Relations and Design</a>. “She is able to perform in many different capacities beyond what I expect to see from a student level.”</p> <div class="align-right image_style-original_image_size"> <div class="imageMediaStyle original_image_size"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/original_image_size/public/2025-12/fisher-mug-resize.jpg?itok=12VtTNq8" width="225" height="225" alt="Headshot of Jolene Fisher"> </div> </div> <p>As faculty advisor for PRSSA, Fisher has worked closely with Szabo over the past two years, and said Szabo has grown not only as a leader, but as a model student.</p><p>It’s why she invited Szabo to give a guest lecture to first-year students in an introductory PR class, where she shared with her peers what it took to secure her internship and her responsibilities at HBO.</p><p>“When we highlight the success of our current students, it really helps inspire our younger ones,” said Fisher, also associate chair of undergraduate studies. “Leah’s going to make things happen because she is a force.

Uniquely, Reddit relies on volunteers to police posts that are abusive or inaccurate.</p><p>The paper, which Vargo co-authored with <a href="/cmdi/people/college-leadership/toby-hopp" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Toby Hopp</a>, a fellow associate professor in the college’s <a href="/cmdi/academics/advertising-pr-and-design" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Department of Advertising, Public Relations and Design</a>, used machine learning tools to study 20 of the most popular subreddits—topic-specific communities hosted on the Reddit platform—in news and politics to understand how community rules could shape both engagement and uncivil behavior.</p><p>“Each subreddit is a different community, and they all have different rules and different guidelines on what’s acceptable,” Vargo said. Some groups, he said, encourage incivility—like sports subreddits where fans trash on a rival team, as well as some in the political sphere. “But you also have subreddits that don’t allow for that kind of incivility, or the casting of people as being out-group.”</p><p>That’s important because social media has empowered anonymous keyboard warriors to toss around death threats, dox opponents and belittle people for their ideas. Those kinds of uncivil behaviors—as opposed to just general vulgarity—were the focus of this research.</p><p>“<a href="/cmdi/news/2024/02/20/research-media-studies-schneider-democracy-internet-technology" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">For a democracy to have diverse voices</a>, people need to feel safe posting content online,” Vargo said. “And we know from incivility studies that silencing and marginalizing opponents, telling them their viewpoints don’t matter, is a great way to silence them.”</p><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-right ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-white"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="lead small-text"><i class="fa-solid fa-quote-right fa-3x fa-pull-right ucb-icon-color-gold">&nbsp;</i>“We know from incivility studies that silencing and marginalizing opponents, telling them their viewpoints don’t matter, is a great way to silence them.”<br><br>Chris Vargo, associate professor, advertising</p></div></div></div><p>When it comes to improving civil discourse on social media, the paper found the strength of a community’s moderation policies and enforcement correlated with greater civility among its participants.</p><p>“The more rules that are in a community, the better quality of communication in that subreddit,” Vargo said. “That’s important because building community is less about content moderation and more about content contextualization—this idea of sharing the truth when a poster might not be truthful, or saying when someone's misleading in a comment if they are being misleading.”</p><h3>Changing perspectives on toxicity</h3><p>The idea that one would consider Reddit a haven from, as opposed to a hotbed of, toxic behavior would have raised more than a few eyebrows in the past. But as major players in artificial intelligence have looked for new content platforms to scrape, Reddit has tried to sanitize its image. Those efforts have included removing problematic communities from the platform as well as putting moderation in the hands of volunteer users. Last year, the platform struck a $60 million deal with Google that allowed the search giant to train its A.I. models on users’ posts.</p><p>“We really expected Reddit to be pretty toxic, but I’ve done a couple papers recently that both point to Reddit being fairly safe, with not a lot of threats,” Vargo said. “I would say it is probably more of a model than it is a problem.”</p><p>When it comes to advertising and social media, engagement is the name of the game—one reason why name-calling, shaming and starting fights online tends to be rewarded by algorithms, which are designed to keep people on the site, in order to deliver more ads to users. In this study, though, Vargo said, internet indecorousness amounted to “just a tiny bit” of increased engagement. &nbsp;</p><p>“I think it’s great to see on a social media platform that those behaviors aren’t driving engagement quite the way we may have thought,” he said. “Because I don’t think it should be so easy to mine us for engagement, and for it to be so closely linked to hate.”</p><p>So, for both existing and emerging platforms, the idea of user-governed communities is worth consideration.</p><p>“I would highly encourage other places, like Facebook groups, to allow for those types of moderators to have that role over removing content and enforcing rules,” Vargo said, noting that his paper collected commonly used rules that keep successful subreddits civil.&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><hr><p><em>Joe Arney covers research and general news for the college.</em></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>A new paper finds subreddits with clearly defined rules and active volunteer moderators do better at limiting incivility and encouraging engagement. </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-12/incivility-lede.jpg?itok=U3LfuRZB" width="1500" height="844" alt="A woman uses a laptop computer.

Students who complete the degree go on to careers in virtually every design field.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“We want to be the people who make cool things to sell,” said senior Pilar Agostine, who was part of the team that built the EPOP storefront—itself created from sustainable materials. “We’re designing the everyday products for a home, but in an environmental way.”</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The EPOP Studio draws its name from the EPOD major and the annual&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.cuboulderepop.com/" rel="nofollow"><span>pop-up shop</span></a><span> powered by the students. The goal of the course is to challenge them to think critically about sustainability while developing technical, interpersonal and business skills.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“The theme of the studio is diverting design—they have to identify waste streams, capture material and transform it into a product,” said Jared Arp, an assistant teaching professor of environmental design who teaches the course alongside Melissa Felderman, associate teaching professor.</span></p> <div class="align-left image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2025-12/EPOP%20Firefly%20Market_Hannah%20Howell_Fall%202025-41.jpg?itok=8bv2CK0d" width="750" height="500" alt="A man takes a photo of the products for sale at the EPOP shop"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p>All products were made with upcycled materials, which many customers felt was both unique and important.</p> </span> </div> <p dir="ltr"><span>Once students identified a waste stream, they used their experience from observing the market to identify potential products to pitch to classmates. Among this year’s product themes were creative, decorative, fun and—for the first time—masculine.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“Shopping for men, in my opinion, is so hard,” senior John Davis said with a laugh. “When you think about the context of a handmade market, a lot of those things tend to be directed toward feminine audiences.”</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Davis and his team had “100-plus ideas” before settling on a set of&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.cuboulderepop.com/respirited" rel="nofollow"><span>whiskey glasses</span></a><span> made from bottles sourced from Spirit Hound, a distiller in Lyons. Even the glasses’ complementary coasters were made from a mixture of crushed glass, rockite—a fine concrete material—and a cork base. Davis estimated the design is made from about 80% reclaimed material.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“I'm really proud of the fact that we have all consistently shown up and created this product, and of how sustainable we were able to make it,” Davis said. “We were lucky Spirit Hound was willing to give us their bottles for free. That made our story a lot stronger.”</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>According to Arp, that storytelling is critical to EPOP because it connects customers with the shop’s mission of promoting sustainable design. When the link connecting the waste stream and final product is clear, he said, the audience is more receptive.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>As in past years, customers beat a steady path to EPOP’s storefront: Well before the Firefly market closed, the students’ 240 products had sold out. Sales from the weekend amounted to slightly more than $10,000; adjusted for expenses, their gross profit was just shy of $6,100, all of which will support next year’s studio.</span></p> <div class="align-right image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2025-12/EPOP%20Firefly%20Market_Hannah%20Howell_Fall%202025-26.jpg?itok=oZfcueUr" width="750" height="500" alt="People in line to purchase items from the EPOP Shop"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p>A steady flow of customers kept EPOP students busy at the market.</p> </span> </div> <p dir="ltr"><span>“That’s 240 decisions from shoppers to purchase the students’ work,” Arp said. “There’s no better jury than live people.”</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Those live people weren’t just impulse buyers. An hour before the market opened, curious passers-by were watching the shop—partially constructed from reclaimed wood—take form. Within minutes of opening, the first customer bought six&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.cuboulderepop.com/cloud-case" rel="nofollow"><span>sunglasses cases</span></a><span> made from reclaimed outdoor gear, like jackets.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Uniquely, the structure included more than just the items for sale. It was outfitted with 12 tablets, which ran looped videos showing the creation process and sustainability story of each product. Buyers also received cards with the product name and a blurb about the item.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“Foot traffic is really important for markets, and I think the shop itself is incredible—it stands out,” said Chrissy Howell, a yarn artisan who frequently participates in markets like Firefly. She and her husband—the parents of a CMDI student—picked up a number of items for their holiday shopping.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Another customer, Jean, stumbled upon the market while visiting Boulder from Frisco. She, like Howell, thought EPOP was perfect for picking up a unique gift—she purchased the&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.cuboulderepop.com/waste-knot" rel="nofollow"><span>Waste Knot</span></a><span> for her daughter—while being environmentally conscious. She said the students’ mission really spoke to her.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“This is the culmination of their whole semester, and it makes me really happy for them that they get this opportunity to be out in public to get feedback about their work and ideas,” said Mary Kay Cunningham, another holiday shopper and parent to an EPOP student.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>For the students, it’s more than just holiday gifts. In addition to learning to tell a story that resonates with potential customers, the class challenged their technical and teamwork skills, teaching them creativity and resilience as they brought their ideas to market.&nbsp;</span></p> <div class="align-left image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2025-12/EPOP%20Firefly%20Market_Hannah%20Howell_Fall%202025-57.jpg?itok=imwBC7ey" width="750" height="500" alt="Yarn bowls made by EPOP students"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p>The Waste Knot yarn bowls, Respirited whiskey glasses and other items made by EPOP students.</p> </span> </div> <p dir="ltr"><span>“They warned us at the beginning that we could use software to generate a concept of a final product, but it will dampen your creative experience,’” said Elliette Igel-Manvitz, a junior on the Waste Knot team.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Felderman said that’s an important lesson for students in the studio class. While many CMDI classes challenge students to find useful, ethical and responsible ways to use generative artificial intelligence as part of assignments and projects, she asked them not to do so in the early stages.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Doing so “stymies their creative process and pigeonholes them,” Felderman said. “We offer guidance to our students both on when and how to use A.I. in the design process, so that it can act as a tool, as opposed to a hindrance.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Students said working through the front-end creative challenges of their projects furthered their learning.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“I’ve definitely become more adaptive,” Igel-Manvitz said. “When we realized we’d have to change our materials because of resource availability, we learned from other teams.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“After working on it for so many months and not really seeing the final product until the very end, it feels unreal.”</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><div class="row ucb-column-container"><div class="col ucb-column"> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-12/EPOP%20Firefly%20Market_Hannah%20Howell_Fall%202025-85.jpg?itok=JdZMv7j8" width="1500" height="1000" alt="Students constructing the EPOP shop"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p class="small-text">Even the storefront was made by students, using both new and reclaimed wood.

White Outstanding Graduate. She’ll be carrying the lessons, relationships and personal growth that shaped her at the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information—experiences she said will guide her long after graduation.</p><p>For Stanley, a communication major and sports media minor who transferred to Âé¶čĂâ·Ń°æÏÂÔŰBoulder from the University of Texas at Austin, the journey to graduation has been marked by balance, focus and a commitment to showing up—both in the classroom and on the soccer field. Her college experiences have given her a better understanding of the power of setting goals and achieving them.</p><p>“Working hard to graduate with a 4.0 GPA while being a student-athlete has taught me that I am in control of the goals I want to achieve,” Stanley said. “It’s truly based on how I show up.”</p><p>The White award, presented to the graduating senior with the highest GPA in the college, is not the only honor Stanley has achieved as a student. In 2024, she was recognized with the Herbst Academic Award, which celebrates a student-athlete for her classroom accomplishments.</p><p>Graduation represents far more than a personal achievement for Stanley: “Above all, my degree represents the generosity, sacrifice and support that I have received from my parents.”</p><p>In a way, her diploma is part gratitude and part gateway.

She didn’t just refine it at CMDI, she came to understand its transformative power. Whether with teammates, professors, coaches or peers, she found clear communication fosters trust while minimizing misunderstandings.</p><p>“I’ve learned that being direct, transparent and intentional strengthens every relationship,” she said. “Recognizing its impact across every area of my life is one of the most valuable takeaways that I will bring with me into my next chapter.” &nbsp;</p><p>Stanley has many memorable experiences she’ll hold onto, but there’s one class that stands out the most: an American Sign Language course with Paige Hawkins, assistant teaching professor from Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences.</p><p>Hawkins, she said, brought joy and care into the classroom, opening Stanley’s eyes to the richness of learning a new language. The experience fostered a deep sense of gratitude and broadened her awareness of the things people often take for granted.</p><p>“She truly impacted my life in ways that I did not expect when signing up for the course,” she said. “I want to thank her for the time, effort when showing up to teach my class and me every day.”&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-none ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-black"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="text-align-center lead hero"><strong>Congratulations,&nbsp;</strong><i class="fa-solid fa-graduation-cap ucb-icon-color-white">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<strong>December graduates!</strong></p><p class="text-align-center lead">CMDI is proud to recognize our <a href="/cmdi/wintergraduation" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="f7404b16-a7de-4897-bc3f-84988c8c80ae" data-entity-substitution="canonical" rel="nofollow">new 2025 Forever Buffs</a>.</p><p class="text-align-center lead">View a <a href="/cmdi/wintergraduation/2025" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="5a0e94bb-93c7-4f9f-8f28-46ce780eed2f" data-entity-substitution="canonical" rel="nofollow">full list of graduates →</a></p></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><hr><div><div><div><div><div><div><p><em>Allyson Maturey is a communications project manager for CMDI.</em></p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>The William W.
