19. Once In A Lifetime: Having A College Experience With Intention with Jude Kiah, PhD


Listen Later

Many people have the intention to go to college, but haven’t thought much more beyond that acceptance letter. Speaking of intention, colleges are also intentional in the experience they design for students. Some colleges go overboard in their desire to attract and retain students. Did you know that LSU students have a lazy river as part of their campus? In this episode, Elizabeth talks with Jude Kiah about how to experience college intentionally as a student and how colleges intentionally design the student experience. Jude Kiah is the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. 

In this episode you’ll learn….

  • The importance of getting out of your dorm room. Nothing will happen if you don’t leave your room and see what opportunities exist.
  • Why it is essential to say YES in college! Take risks, try things. These will become your favorite lasting college memories. 
  • How college departments work together to create a positive student experience.
