Join us as we feature our first fellow classmate, Monique Waltman, on this podcast. During this episode, we talk about Monique's triumph through adversity and her journey towards self discovery.

In the second part of our discussion with Dr. Jason Wasserman, we dive into his early life and the steps he took towards pursuing a career in Medical Sociology and Bioethics, his parenting style, and why he prefers the pursuit of a "life's work" over a "work-life balance". 

This episode is part 1 of our conversation with Dr. Wasserman, an Associate Professor of Foundational Medical Studies at OUWB, in which we discuss how he's been doing over the course of the pandemic, explore his family life, and begin to unravel stories about key influences from his early career.  

You may have seen this guest's smiling face in the halls of O'Dowd. On this episode, we sit down with one of our beloved custodial staff members, Sebastian, as we discuss his upbringing, relationships, and the toll that this year has taken on him.

Join us as we sit down for a conversation with our founding dean, Dr. Folberg, as he shares precious stories from the foundational years of OUWB.  While not presented in our typical podcast format, we felt these stories deserved to be heard and preserved.
