Greetings from The American Dream City! Be sure to tune into the newest installment of UTA Spotlight, a weekly news update featuring broadcasting students reporting on events, projects, announcements and other key news and happenings on the university campus and around Arlington.

This week's stories include:

• Gareth Ashton, a student-athlete who has been deaf since birth, has landed a spot on the UTA track team.
• UTA student Estrella Gonzales identifies politically as a conservative, and she started an organization on campus to promote conservative vocalism and views.

Segments run every week during the semester on Arlington's cable channel, Spectrum Channel 16 and AT&T U-Verse channel 99.
