WCSUPodcasts

The last in our Summer Updates series. Paul is joined by Dean Michelle Brown of the Macricostas School of Arts and Sciences to talk about what you can expect from an academic standpoint when you come back to campus.

Life as we knew it before March 2020 may not be back for quite a while. Many campuses across the country are trying to safely bring back as much college life as possible, all with an eye on our health and safety. But it will be different, and it will take each of us doing our best to protect ourselves and others by some simple acts like wearing masks and social distancing. Listen in for ways that YOU can make a difference.

In the fourth of our Summer Updates series, Paul is joined by Elaina Mendes, Catering Director for Sodexho at WCSU to fill in some gaps in our understanding of how dining will work on campus in the fall. She graciously joined us by phone (of course) from her car at the beach so a special thank you for that.

The third in our Summer Updates series. Paul is joined by John Murphy, Director of Event & Conference Management and soon to be Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler of Auxiliary Services to discuss the shuttle and what we can expect in the fall. If you were hoping for a detailed discussion of the ground clearance of railroad trestles in town you will not be disappointed!

In the second of our Summer Updates series Paul talks to Paul Simon aka DPS about dining at WCSU in the fall and what may or may not be changing when we come back.

As always this information was accurate as of the time of recording. Please keep an eye on social media, the WCSU app, and the university website for the most up to date information.

In the first of many summer updates episodes, Paul is joined by Maribeth Griffin, Director of Residential Programs & Staff, to talk about what you can expect from a housing standpoint when you return to WCSU in the fall.

Keep an eye on your feed in the weeks to come for updates from departments across WCSU to help keep you informed.

Paul is joined by the presidents of four campus organizations to talk the recent Black Lives Matter march and rally on campus, the changing of WCSU's mascot away from the "Colonials", and whether they are hopeful for meaningful change at WCSU.

Paul talks with Lionel Bascom, WCSU writing professor and lifelong Civil Rights activist, about what is happening across the country and at the university following the death of George Floyd.

Paul has three regular guests join him one last time as the semester is ending and summer is just getting started. Student co-host and events guru Chantel Williams, Biology professor and cricket-eater Dr. Rayda Krell, and Provost and VP of Academic Affairs Dr. Missy Alexander. Apologies for some noisy audio the gods of the internet were not with us in this recording.
