The White Vault is a found footage horror fiction podcast created by K.A. Statz that features an international cast and crew, with special ties to the University of Pittsburgh. Noted for its diverse cast, immersive soundscape, and multi-lingual approach to storytelling, The White Vault has won the 2018 HEAR Now: Audio Fiction and Arts Festival, and it has been a 2019 & 2020 Webby Award Honoree for Best Original Music / Sound Design in Podcasting. Join members of The White Vault cast and crew to discuss the inspiration for and origins of the show, the lore and mythos involved in world-building, and the importance of inclusion and diversity to the show.

The purpose of the Student Club Coalition is to give clubs related to Latin America, the Caribbean, and the diasporas, an opportunity to be officially related to and involved with CLAS, providing mutual support for student engagement. The Student Club Coalition is designed to help students develop a voice for what's important to them, to assist them in that endeavor, and to help them acquire funding for those projects and goals. The member clubs work together to support each other and their goals, and to build friendships and community along the way.

Join members of The White Vault, as well as some podcasters from the University of Pittsburgh, to discuss the technical side of podcasting. Topics will include creating immersive soundscapes, overcoming common technical pitfalls, issues of audio accessibility, and more. Please bring your own questions and issues, too. Students interested in taking part in the Horror Studies Working Group Podcasting Competition are especially encouraged to take part.

This intensive, two-part program incorporates a cross-cultural homestay with individualized field study. The program is open to undergraduates of any major at the University of Pittsburgh with sufficient Spanish language proficiency and an interest in Latin American culture. The 15-20 students selected for the program will enroll in a preparatory seminar on campus during the spring of 2023, and then travel to the host country where they will study, live with a host family, and carry out an independent field project during the summer.
