This Black History Month, ABTS had the opportunity to host our Assata Gilmore, Bri Sislo-Schutta, Roaya Higazi, Marisa Elzy, and Batool Ibrahim for a conversation on what it means to be a part of history. These women left us with goosebumps and we think you’ll have the same reaction! 

Ever just needed to hear two friends catch up? Well this is your chance. Our executive producers, Vahini Shori and Dylan Catalano, catch up in this special edition episode of Between Class! You don't want to miss this one!

We want to thank you all for the amazing support of Between Class, and we are happy to bring you Episode 3: The True Cost of College. We had three amazing student leaders join us for an intimate conversation about the struggles of higher education funding, and how to alleviate the financial burden on students to pay for college. 

We thank our panelists Assata Gilmore (she/her; Student Body President at Purdue University), Aidan Sova (he/him; Former Executive Director of ABTS and Student at the University of Michigan), and Rodrigo Tojo-Garcia (he/him; University of Minnesota)

We will be taking a short break from Between Class for winter vacation, but be on the lookout in December for a special episode featuring everybody's favorite executive producers!
