KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“How do we make it possible for every student to be able to write their own stories? And one of the ways that we have to do that is by thinking about what's the experience the students like, and all students need to feel at home. And that’s what drives me.”
“As part of our historical narrative, Coe has always been that kind of place that is accessible, and this is pushing Coe to be more accessible and open to more populations than it has historically been.”

Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
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.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
