Weber PodCats

On this bonus episode with the Weber PodCats, we sit down with Teresa Martinez, the Student Engagement Coordinator with the Center for Community Engaged Learning.

As you might know, our theme for this season is Re-Connect*.  On this episode we discuss the meaning behind this Engaged Learning series theme and what it represents

Welcome back to another season of the Weber PodCats!  This season we are  exploring the CCEL Engaged Learning Series theme of “re-connect*.”  In  our 6 episode season, we will be discussing the many different ways on  how we re-connect with our mind, body, community, culture, school, and  arts.

On our final episode of the season we will be focusing on the struggles students face academically and how to overcome them. The topic of failure is, and always has been relevant.  Everyone stumbles sometimes, and mistakes are proof that we're trying. During our interviews this episode we will be focusing on how to connect to, and through our struggles, and how to come out better on the other end.

Thanks for a great season of Weber Podcats and we'll see you in the next one!

Today we will dive into issues involving race. The topic has gained a lot more public attention recently, and the issues have only deepened throughout the course of the pandemic. These issues have ranged from police brutality, to disparities in Covid-19 impacts and vaccine distribution. 

Join us as we interview two Weber State Students, Cameron and Ian, about their experiences with racial injustice in school and in life. We hope that through these conversations we can become more capable of connecting with people of color in our own communities. We also hope that we can learn how to create a more inclusive and equitable community for those that face more obstacles.

Welcome back to another episode of Weber Podcats! This week, we'll be discussing the environment. Stick with us as we continue to explore our theme of connectedness as we talk about how we can get closer to our environment and what we can do to make a difference. With Earth Day around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to connect to the environment!

Welcome back to another episode of Weber Podcats! This week, we’ll be focusing on womens’ issues. Stick with us as we continue to explore this season’s theme of connectedness, surrounding everything female-- womens’ issues, helpful resources, how you can help, and more. What better way to wrap up National Womens’ Month than with a discussion about connecting with women?

In this episode, join Jazmyne Olson as she discusses local politics. Utah ended up with a 90% turnout in this past election, but many still did not register to vote. While these numbers are often driven by national politics, local politics plays a major role in our lives, surrounding us at work, home, and school as the decisions of local leaders impact our daily lives. Our podcast is centered on connectedness, so we will be focusing on finding out how we can connect to our community through local politics and figuring out how we can make a difference in our community and making sure that we are properly informed on what is going on around us. 

This episode includes descriptions and discussions of depression and suicide. Some may find these conversations to be disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, join Ceilidh Argyle as she discusses mental health. It is a challenging subject, and many people face those challenges every day. Discussion, facts, and information about mental health surround us. It floods our social media feeds, the news, conversations among friends and family, and has taken the forefront in many academic studies.

Our podcast is centered on connectedness, so we will be focusing on finding connection through mental illness and to connect with those who suffer from mental illness all around us.

Welcome back for another season of Weber PodCats! Connect* will be all about connecting our community with resources and each other in an unprecedented time on isolation. Join us next Friday for Episode 1.
