LOS ANGELES, CA - September 13, 2017 - (HISPANICIZE WIRE) - Hispanicize Media Group and California State University Fullerton’s College of Communications are partnering to launch a university student track for Hispanicize L.A., Oct. 4, called Hispanicize U.

The pilot program will provide 50 university students in the technology and media communications departments of the university with their own dedicated content track at the national Hispanic Heritage Month edition of Hispanicize in L.A.’s The Line Hotel. Select students will get free access to Hispanicize U and will be able to attend sessions of the broader event, including special programs, breakfast and lunches.

As part of the partnership, HMG will also launch a Latino Innovation Fund that will donate $1,000 towards each table that is sponsored at the Hispanicize Silicon Valley Luncheon of Hispanicize L.A. The fund will be managed by the university and will be given to students to microfund their own business ideas.

“Cal State has a long history of collaboration with our Hispanicize event platform and this partnership is the product of three years of discussions and brainstorms about how we could do something meaningful for students,” said Manny Ruiz, founder of the Hispanicize Media Group (HMG) that owns the Hispanicize L.A. event.

“We are thrilled with this pilot program,” said Edward Fink, interim dean of the College of Communications. “Through our Latino Communications Institute, we continue to grow partnerships like this to provide our Hispanic and Latino students with enhanced preparation for careers in the Spanish/ bilingual media market.”

The multi-industry, full day Hispanicize L.A. event will include more than 20 sessions for 700 of the nation’s most influential professionals from the industries of social media, diversity and inclusion tech, journalism and entertainment. (Register for the event at www.HispanicizeLA.com).
