Alexandrino will oversee the College’s Spanish-language news offerings, including the weekly Noticias WUFT radio broadcast, a student-produced show covering local, state, national and international news, sports, weather and public affairs programming. She’ll also tackle developing an undergraduate joint certificate program in Spanish-language journalism.
Another CNN alum joined the College in January, digital senior editor Mira Lowe, who was brought in to lead the College’s news operation.
