In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with an old classmate, supervisee, and friend, Aja. I graduated in Spring 2018, Aja graduated in Spring 2020 (3 months post-lockdown). Together, we explored the trials and tribulations of being involved student leaders turned college grads with the unexpected experiences on the other side of graduation. Many people experience this transition and don't exactly know how to move through the process. The nuance of COVID made this conversation even more unique. Know that your experience is valid and everything is going to be okay!
