“I do my best to remind myself of both my hope and my possibilities as a young man at that time, as well as those things that serve to obstruct what could have been an even more dynamic and fulfilling experience, and hope to work with people at my institution to remove those barriers for students of ambition, of talent, of promise.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
