As we all are experiencing the transition back into normality since COVID-19 has turned this world upside-down, staying healthy has been the main focus recently. Dr. Valerie Phillips, a naturopathic doctor, gives us some expert advice on supporting the immune system, staying healthy during college, and how to potentially ease some anxiety when we are needed in public spaces.

For my ENGL 3010 class instructed by Professor Beau Larimer at CSU Bakersfield, part of my final project is to conduct an interview with a public school ELA teacher. Mandy Fisher was kind enough to join me on this episode as we discuss topics and strategies about what it’s like teaching in the real world as well as some advice for future educators. Enjoy!

This episode is dedicated to International Women's Day at CSU Bakersfield. Today Ellice Richman and I are joined by Kristen Valdez (Chair) & Marina Manzano (Steering Committee) from the university's Organization of Women Leaders (OWLs). They inform us of the extravagant empowering activities that the OWLs conduct at CSUB. This organization's student-centered approach encourages unity and supports all students at CSUB.

On this episode, one of CSUB’s faculty members Robin Valente joins us as we discuss feminism, identity pronouns, science, & International Women’s Day.

Dr. DanForth explains the struggles of virtual instruction for NSME students & teachers in her department. And finally, we close with Dr. Gonzalez who shares the key to student success as a teacher during this time. These professors are clearly dedicated to their students! Tune in and listen(:
