In episode 4 of the OGB’s Weekly Roundup, hosts Evan and Cooper begin with a discussion of Chase Bagnall Koger’s story about the overhaul of Wake Forest’s network of data systems led by LGBTQ+ Center Director Dr. A.J. Mazaris. As a result of the project, data systems across campus will now better reflect transgender students’ chosen names and pronouns. Afterward, Olivia Wang - an undergraduate student from China - and Professor of Journalism Justin Catanoso join the show. Olivia was struggling during the beginning of the semester, oftentimes felt out of place, and was ready to drop Professor Catanoso’s journalism class. However, an enriching conversation with Dr. Catanoso changed her perspective. As Olivia wrote in her Life Through the Lens Story, “I’ll never forget what Professor Catanoso told me: ‘You are the person who gets the chance to stand in the middle (between two countries) and seek for the truth. Be patient, take your time, and don’t be discouraged.’” Lastly, the hosts discuss Henry Parkhurst's story about mask enforcement across campus.
