Maddie Lamb, a junior sport management and communications major with a concentration in public relations at East Stroudsburg University, had always heard the same message in her classes: to succeed in the sports media industry, networking is key. A native of Long Valley, N.J., and midfielder on the ESU women’s soccer team, Lamb knew that devoting the necessary time to academics and athletics made it harder to follow that advice and seize opportunities to grow her professional experiences. That’s why, when the chance arose to attend Super Bowl LIX in San Francisco in February through LivingSport, she decided to step out of her comfort zone.

Seventeen students from East Stroudsburg University’s Black Student Union (BSU) traveled to Yale University from Feb. 5–7 to attend the 2026 Black Solidarity Conference, the largest undergraduate conference hosted at Yale and the longest-running, Black-led Ivy League conference in the country.

Foreign Films is a club run by Mr. Carter that meets once a month to watch different foreign movies and discuss them.  This includes a voting process to pick the movie and the ability to suggest a movie. The schedule is flexible as it is also done by voting, so the most available date for members is chosen in retrospect of unavailability due to other activities.  Snacks are brought in to eat during the movie.  It allows students to interact with the different languages of the world and engage in global learning. After the movies, the students discuss how the movie made them feel and any questions or critiques. This club allows the students to dive into cultures and see different movie formats, acting styles, and movie types.  It explores languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, and more. During the movie, snacks are also provided by club members who donate. Movie Viewings are done in Mr. Carter’s room.

These days, society seems to be changing faster than it used to. Trend culture pushes the pop culture train, as a new public interest emerges weekly, like cargo. This fast-paced drop off of new concepts in the media has noticeably affected behavior, especially in the case of attention spans.  IACET reports that the average human attention span has declined to 8.25 seconds. It is important to acknowledge the malignant cause of shortening attention spans, which you might be more familiar with than you think.
