Episode 4 – 2/27/26

HPL-SP26

An outline of rhode island with puzzle pieces colored: white, blue, yellow, and red. Representing<br />
mental health, laws, community action, and emergency response.

This episode of Hope Pod Live on WQRI 88.3 FM highlights a range of student-produced stories focused on social justice and campus life at Roger Williams University and across Rhode Island. Coverage includes LGBTQ+ Health Awareness Week, the inaugural RWU men’s varsity hockey season and leadership insights from Coach Chris Hall, and analysis of Rhode Island child welfare data and policy planning. Additional segments explore solutions journalism on youth mental health in foster care and incarceration systems, community responses to gun violence, and the evolving role of technology in education. The broadcast also promotes student journalism opportunities and campus media initiatives.

*This story has been supported by the Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems.
