This month we take a break from interviewing guests. Instead, the three of us discussed some of the issues facing students as they return to campus for the fall. We also give a sneak peak into how this discussion will help frame the remainder of Season 2.

Campus Awakens: Considerations for the Start of Fall Courses

The Inclusive & Online Podcast is a monthly podcast where your hosts, Kate Huttenlocher, Kayla Yucha, and Dan Arnold, will discuss topics relating to inclusivity, educational technology, and online learning. Join us for lively discussion of relevant topics, poignant interviews, and for recommendations on tech tools that will help you create the inclusive environments that you seek in your classrooms and beyond. 

Kate Huttenlocher, MA, LLPC (she/her/hers)

Working toward open mindedness, inclusivity, and being able to meet people where they are at has been a part of my journey at every step both personally and professionally. After working in K-8 education for a time, I decided to pursue a Master’s in Counseling from Oakland University. It was at this point that I began working as a graduate assistant in e-Learning before becoming full time staff of Oakland University’s e-Learning and Instructional Support office during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have been serving as the Assistant Manager of Support Services at e-LIS since January 2021. Working in e-Learning has given me the opportunity to explore the ways in which we can make education more inclusive and accessible for all students. Outside of work, I enjoy frequenting local coffee shops, spending time with my cats, and am an avid podcast listener. 

Dan Arnold, Ph.D. (he/him/his)

I’m Dr. Dan and I’m the Manager of Support Services for Oakland University’s e-Learning and Instructional Support team. With over 17 years of higher education experience ranging from student financial aid, to student recruitment, to online learning, I have worked with a wide range of students and colleagues over the years. My journey toward learning more about inclusion started while working on my doctorate, and has continued to this day. I enjoy thinking about and enacting ways for all learning environments to be more inclusive. On a personal note, I like snacks, sports, and dogs. 

Kayla Yucha (she/her/hers)

I am Kayla and I am a junior year marketing student at Oakland University! I currently work at the e-Learning and Instructional Support office as their lead tech on the team, and this is my third year working at the office. Living on campus, and working with the campus community everyday at e-LIS has furthered my passion for cultivating inclusivity within both the technology realm and in everyday life. During my free time, I enjoy reading, all things fashion, and crocheting!
