Encuentro which was its own public affairs show, merged into a segment on Al Desperatar where more viewers are reached. The segment provides viewers with information about their own community. It focuses on community news, events, resources, and issues.

> College education fair

> This event is important because many Hispanic students do not have the resources or information on how to apply, get financial aid or know their options about colleges

> Univision’s collaboration with other organizations made it possible for Hispanic students to get more information and ask questions
