WCSUPodcasts

New(ish) to the WS Campus Center is the Technology Resource Center or I-Lab, just behind the cafeteria and stairs. With Oculus Rift VR systems, podcast and WebEx facilities, video recording, and a set of PCs and printers, this center has just about anything you'd need to enjoy all the technology WCSU offers. We'll also be talking about the WCSU App available for your smart phone and learn why ITI hopes you'll use it!

This week Paul Steinmetz takes WCSU411 down the road to commune with Uncle Sam, newly installed on White Street. We also have thoughts from Provost Missy Alexander, an update from Athletics Director Lori Mazza, and as always the week's events with Chantel Williams.

The Environmental Working Group is your source for the Dirty Dozen (fruits and vegetables) and the Clean 15 - in this interview with their chief toxicologist, Dr. Alexis Temkin, we uncover the surprising details of carcinogens in your food.

It's much harder to live with someone than you think - especially because most of us don't really talk to each other any longer, nor do we usually have to share space. So what do we do when we have something that's bugging us about our roommate - their music, their neatness, the people they bring in the room at all hours? Listen in as we try to provide some hints about how to make things better when you're living with someone new.

This idea of living on your own is, perhaps, a little overwhelming. It might be helpful to listen as we share a few thoughts about what this is like. Topics will include cooking and cleaning, getting along with roommates, how to get things fixed, and doing your own laundry. It will be great fun! Really. (Except for perhaps the cleaning.)

WCSU 411 is now even more entertaining! We still feature insightful interviews and a weekly roundup of campus events with Chantel Williams, but we now offer weekly essays from the provost, athletic coaches, librarians, and others as well. Listen in, and get even cooler than you thought possible.

Just for the start of school, here's a review of some of the Gab & GROW shows from last year. You'll hear about many of the places to get help on campus - especially those you might want to connect with right away!

The Human Library is an event intended to create dialogue between very different individuals who might otherwise never meet. The movement started almost 20 years ago in Denmark, and events have now been held in over 800 countries. In the end, its goal is to promote understanding and greater tolerance. Tune in to hear about what to expect at the event, which is scheduled for October 1, 2019. Our guest is the coordinator, Julie Hunter.

The semester has started! If you don’t know what to do, Chantel Williams will get you to Clubs Carnival -- and also fill you in on how her summer went.

As the semester approaches and we're busy preparing new episodes we put together a couple of shows compiled of some of the best moments from last year to help you shift gears back to college. Here is the first one. Topics include making plans, connecting to your professors, campus safety, and building resilience. You'll find it really helpful!
