Today we are talking about residence life. Specifically, we are looking at Brown Residential College. Mason Marche is the Grand Poohbah of this appealing place to live. He has a lot to say about his home and it's definitely worth a listen!

In September of this year, a young woman was killed by police for refusing to wear a headdress in Tehran, Iran. Police brutality is not uncommon in Iran under the rule of their Supreme Leader. However, this young woman's death became a powder keg for multi-generational protests in Iran with women and men standing side by side for equality. Though we are in America, it is still important to be aware and show our support for Iran's movement toward freedom. That is why Abtin Afshar of the Iranian Student Association at UVA is joining us today to share his story and the story of Iran's current situation.

 Have you ever felt lonely, like you don't belong,  or maybe misunderstood? Don't worry, you are not alone. The transition into college life is a challenging one for even the most social of butterflies. That's where Hoos Connected comes in. Professor Alison Nagel talks about her life and her role in the beloved class for students. She also shares the important research that works to improve the lives of college students at UVA.

Keeping in theme of celebrating diversity at UVA, I have the pleasure of interviewing the President of OYFA, the Organization of Young Filipino Americans, Angelina Rodriguez! She shares the mission of OYFA as well as her concerns about diversity, representation, and inclusion at UVA. Be sure to give the episode a listen and follow OYFA on their social media!
