Join the National Association of Hispanic Journalists UARK student chapter at the U of A for freshly made churros and Mexican Coca-Cola noon to 2 p.m. Thursday, April 18, on the second-floor patio of Kimpel Hall.

Everyone is welcome — whether you're a journalism enthusiast, a lover of Hispanic culture or simply someone who enjoys good food and good company. 

The RSO invites the U of A community to enjoy hand-crafted churros from Fayetteville-based Mo' Tacos and Churros. The company was founded as a small side hustle in 2015 and makes many of their foods in house. 

NAHJ will serve these treats to conclude the School of Journalism and Strategic Media's J-Days, an annual celebration of the field of journalism to be held April 14-18, 2025.

Held in collaboration with the Lemke Journalism Alumni Society, the week will feature guest lectures by esteemed journalists and media professionals, the renowned Roy Reed lecture series, scholarship and award announcements, student social gatherings and opportunities to visit with alumni and employers.

Mark your calendars, gather your friends and come hungry for both knowledge and churros to celebrate the vibrant intersection of journalism and Hispanic heritage.
