You don't need to travel to NYC or Boston to get great entertainment. All it takes is a quick trip to the Westside and a visit to VPAC! We'll hear all about upcoming performances this year in Theatre Arts. You'll be astounded by the amazing work being done right here on campus by your friends. Join Mr. Tim Howard, Assoc. Professor in Theatre Arts, to hear what's happening this fall, and learn more about the Theatre Arts programs.

Paul is joined by Anna Adebambo and Alejandro Calderon from the Western Marketing Association. Dr. Rayda Krell is back with more tales from the Science Building. There's more to Dr. Tom Philbrick than just Biology - bring a mug to the quad on 10/18 to find out what it might be. Chantel takes the week off and Paul and Pete struggle to fill her shoes.

Homecoming at WCSU is an entire week of events. We'll hear today from some of the students who've been planning this year's activities, who'll tell us all about them and why YOU should attend. It's not just about coming home - it's about BEING home!

This episode:

Cathy Vanaria on the department of art and its recent accreditation, Dr. Rayda Krell's Science Beat, Provost Dr. Missy Alexander on vulnerability, and Chantel Williams breaks down all the homecoming events.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and WCSU has plenty going on to recognize the month. We'll talk with Cara Mackler of the Women's Center of Greater Danbury about some of those programs, as well as learn a little more about what you'll find available to you through the Women's Center.

Paul is joined by:

Eric Egan, a man from Men Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault on how men can stand up for women,

Alex Harrison, a man standing on the sidelines of Women's Soccer... so he can coach them,

and Chantel a woman with some very specific ideas on who should and shouldn't be hanging out at block parties

There's all kinds of talk on college campuses about diversity, identity, and inclusion, but what does it all mean? We'll not only talk about what all this means, but more importantly, we'll talk about practicing the art of communication and conversation in order to create a more inclusive campus.

Paul is joined by WCSU Field Hockey coach Dani McDonnell and he betrays his ignorance of field hockey scoring averages. Provost Missy Alexander is back with more thoughts on higher education. Chantel lays out the week's events.
