NPR's Rolando Arrieta Speaks at Howard University about Cuban Migration

On Monday, February 26, 2018, join Pulitzer Center grantee journalist Rolando Arrieta at Howard University to hear about his work covering the impact of U.S. policy on Cuban migration as part of his project, A New Era in Cuban Migration. 

Following the Obama administration's decision to end the "wet foot, dry foot" policy, making Cuban immigrants that enter the country illegally subjugated to deportation, Arrieta and others followed the reaction to the decision that impacted thousands. The project is coordinating with multiple Spanish outlets including 14ymedio, the Miami Herald/el Nuevo Herald, and Radio Ambulante, along with NPR to produce a multimedia series.

Arrieta is a three-time George Foster Peabody award-winning journalist, storyteller, and educator, currently working at NPR. Campus Consortium coordinator Kayla Sharpe accompanies Arrieta on the visit to speak about the international reporting fellowship opportunity available to Howard students as part of the partnership with the Pulitzer Center.
